City of Portland sued over workplace fragrances
http://www.king5.com/news/local/207458291.html 
 
"PORTLAND – A Bureau of Maintenance employee has sued the City of Portland, claiming she was sickened by personal fragrances.
 
Julie Reynolds' suit claims that she suffers from a condition called Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), that is triggered by a wide variety of chemicals contained in scent-bearing products like perfume and hand lotion.

The lawsuit states that one of Reynolds' co-workers wore a scented product that triggered a severe reaction, and that Reynolds' doctor warned the city that workplace exposure could be "life-threatening" to Reynolds."
