Perfume Allergy Case Brings $10M Judgment

(AP) - DETROIT-A jury awarded $10.6 million to one-time radio host who
was fired after complaining a co-worker's perfume made her sick.

Erin Weber said WYCD-FM fired her in 2001 after she complained she was
allergic to another host's perfume. She said the station owner, Infinity
Broadcasting Inc., discriminated against her for a disability -
allergies - and retaliated after she filed a complaint with the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission.

Infinity said Weber was fired for not coming to work. The company said
it had asked the other woman to stop wearing the perfume and modified
Weber's schedule so she wouldn't come into contact with her.

A federal jury on Monday awarded Weber $7 million in punitive damages,
$2 million for mental anguish and emotional distress and $1.6 million
for past and future compensation.

Infinity spokeswoman Karen L. Mateo said the company planned to appeal.
