GA Woman Sues Hotel Over Used Condom

[Leogeddon]

ATLANTA (AP) — A Georgia woman is suing a downtown Atlanta hotel after she says her 4-year-old grandson contracted herpes from a used condom found in their hotel room bed sheets last year.

The lawsuit was filed by the boy's grandmother, Carmen Jones, and seeks damages from Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, as well as Crescent Hotels and Resorts and the hotel's manager. The family's attorney, Thomas F. Jones, said the boy has suffered from lesions in his mouth, vomiting and fevers since the August 2010 incident.

Jones said the grandmother came out of the shower and found the boy with the condom in his mouth, attempting to blow it up. Jones said the boy has been diagnosed with herpes.

Evy Apostolatos, spokeswoman for the New Jersey-based Wyndham, declined comment because the lawsuit is pending.

The property has since been closed and sold.

As disgusting this may be, it's terrifying to know what one can catch from a hotel room. I would be outraged to find out that my own son was diagnosed with Herpes because of some workers who couldn't do their job right. They're paid to clean the room, how many hotels out there have horrendous things such as this?
