The home decor company Wayfair can compel arbitration after it was sued by a customer who says she found bedbugs in her Wayfair headboard, U.S. District Senior Judge Jack Weinstein of the Eastern District of New York ordered as he stayed the case Tuesday.

The customer, Lekisha Nicholas, bought an upholstered headboard from Wayfair’s website in 2016, her lawyer, Joshua Arisohn of Bursor & Fisher, wrote in the complaint. She was bitten on her hands and legs until an exterminator “confirmed the source of the bed bugs was the headboard,” according to the complaint.
