Detroit city workers told to go scentsless

16 March 2010 / AP, DETROIT
Change is in the air for Detroit city workers. City employees will be urged not to wear perfume, cologne or aftershave as a result of a settlement in a federal lawsuit.
 Officials plan to place warning placards in three city buildings. The signs will warn workers to avoid “wearing scented products, including ... colognes, aftershave lotions, perfumes, deodorants, body/face lotions ... [and] the use of scented candles, perfume samples from magazines, spray or solid air fresheners.” The employee handbook and Americans with Disabilities Act training also will bear warnings. The Detroit News reports the move stems from a $100,000 settlement in a federal lawsuit filed in 2008 by a city employee who said a colleague’s perfume made it challenging for her to do her job.
