BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) - A Connecticut judge has given the
brush-off to a blonde woman's lawsuit claiming L'Oreal Inc. ruined
her social life when she accidentally dyed her hair brunette with
one of its products.
Charlotte Feeney of Stratford says she can never return to her
natural blonde hue, a shock that left her so traumatized she needed
anti-depressants.
She says she suffered headaches and anxiety, missed the
attention that blondes receive and had to stay home and wear hats
most of the time.
A Superior Court judge dismissed Feeney's 2005 lawsuit Monday,
saying she never proved her allegation that L'Oreal put brown hair
dye in a box labeled as blonde. The company also had disputed the
claim.
Feeney's attorney, David Laudano, declined to comment and she
could not be reached after the judge's decision.
