PITTSBURGH – A Wyndham hotel alleges that it does not know how a hypodermic needle was found in one of its beds and struck an Ohio plaintiff, a needle the plaintiff claims potentially exposed her to HIV.
Dr. Elizabeth L. Bonds and Bryan Timpe of Columbus, Ohio first filed suit in the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas on May 29 versus Wyndham Pittsburgh University Center of Pittsburgh and RLJ Lodging Trust, of Bethesda, Md.
“On Dec. 9, 2018, Dr. Bonds was an overnight guest at the Wyndham Pittsburgh University Center, staying in Room 229. When Bonds proceeded to get into the bed, she felt a pain in her left foot. Bonds removed her sock and discovered that the tip of a hypodermic needle was stuck in her foot. Bonds notified hotel management and an incident report was completed,” the suit stated.

The plans came as part of a €400m development announcement which identified 200 homes across three sites in the city.

The new vanilla-clementine-scented wipes and cleansers with confetti-colored packaging and a cute name OMV! irked Gunter because they are designed for girls to use to freshen their vaginal area.
Gunter, a San Francisco-based gynecologist and author of
The Vagina Bible, has built a reputation as a fierce advocate for women s health and debunker of pseudo-science. She has called out jade eggs and detox pearls and various other items that promise to improve the vagina, but that she and other doctors warn could actually be harmful. And, in her view, this product is no different.
