City of Detroit to Pay $100,000 to Employee Who Complained About Coworkers Perfume

Susan McBride sued the City of Detroit, complaining she couldn’t work due to a colleague’s perfume, and has been awarded $100,000. McBride claimed she had a chemical sensitivity and the smells of perfume and room deodorizers made it difficult for her to breathe and caused migraines and nausea.

The City of Detroit is now alerting employees to not wear scented products, including perfume, cologne, aftershave, and deodorant and warning against the use of candles and air fresheners in the workplace.
