New York Woman Sues Waldorf Astoria over Bedbugs

A Long Island woman claims her one night at the Waldorf Astoria hotel has cost her $13,000 because her room was infested with bedbugs that came home with her.

Susanne Igneri filed a lawsuit against the upscale Manhattan hotel last month.

The Waldorf said an exterminator hotel found no infestation days after the Igneris’ departure.

Igneri claims bugs encountered during their Feb. stay gave her 6-year-old daughter “permanent scarring to her face, legs, stomach, groin and body” and the girl required treatment for “psychological and emotional injuries.”

Other suits over bedbugs have been reported in Maryland and Pennsylvania.
