It's pretty common in offices to see a sign posted about perfume allergies. I work with a woman who develops severe headaches from strong perfume smells.

That 10.6 million [[subsequently reduced) award mentioned from 2005 is a bit mind-blowing.

...and while I've been hit with some bad perfumes before, when someone reheats fish in our kitch the smell is enough to make the whole floor vomit. Not sure I can sue about that, though.

"refrain from wearing scented products, including but not limited to colognes, after-shave lotions, perfumes, deodorants, body/face lotions, hair sprays or similar products."

I think this goes a bit too far. No deodorant??? You won't be able to walk into the office!

I hear Mr. Feiger will sue for just about anything these days... so long as he thinks he can win, no change there though...

Any chance we could extend the lawsuit to curry overheated in microwaves?

I don't care for the smell of burnt popcorn...

How about just its general use for cooking in apartment complexes for that matter??

My "colleague" is on Atkins and microwaves/eats hot dogs every day at 9:15am and 12:30pm! Blech!!!

A coworker once reheated haggis in the office microwave. Talk about rank! No one really complained though. It was just a memorable experience.

I thought it was illegal to import haggis. Knowing her, she probably made it after butchering the sheep herself!
