the famed Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York City is facing a third lawsuit over bedbugs, according to The Gothamist
Svetlana Tendler is the latest guest to sue the historic hotel. The doctor, who is currently stay-at-home mom, claims she was bitten in 2007, but was hoping the hotel would settle out of court. She is now seeking $10 million in compensation, citing "prominent" scarring and a fear of going to hotels.
"For the last three years I tried to recover from the bed bugs incident and forget about it," Tendler says. "But I felt like something very important was taken from my life that night and was never returned. I felt like I was eaten alive by bed bugs which have attacked my body."
According to the lawsuit, Tendler suffered red, swollen and itchy welts all over her body, resulting in an allergic reaction which caused "a serious infection and significant prominent scarring." The treatments were costly and Tendler wants the hotel to foot the medical bills and the plastic surgery she wants.
