After takeoff a strong odor of fumes entered the cabin; I notified the Captain of the fumes immediately; the fumes cause my eyes and nose to burn; as well as a bad metallic taste in my mouth causing my mouth to go dry. I became lightheaded; dizzy and had a foggy cognitive ability increasing my chances of making a mistake. The Captain advised ATC and we returned to ZZZ where Crash Fire Rescue and paramedics met the flight.The company and the aircraft manufacturers need to be held accountable for these fume events. They are happening more frequently. Better maintenance practices and checks need to be done; as well as using higher quality parts to make sure that the cabin bleed air is not contaminated with toxic fumes endangering the health of the crew and passengers.
Flight Attendant reported a fume event during climb that resulted in a diversion.
