Woman sues Victoria's Secret claiming thong injury Fri Jun 20, 8:26 AM ET



LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A woman who says she was hurt by her thong panties when a metal clip flew off and hit her in the eye has sued Victoria's Secret, saying in a TV interview on Thursday that the injury caused her "excruciating pain."

Macrida Patterson, a 52-year-old Los Angeles traffic officer, told NBC's "Today" show that she suffered cuts to her cornea from the small piece of metal that had been used to secure a rhinestone heart onto the blue thong.

"I was putting on my underwear from Victoria's Secret and the metal popped in my eye. It happened really quickly. I was in excruciating pain. I screamed. That's what happened," Patterson told NBC.

Patterson's lawyer Jason Buccat, who also appeared on the "Today" show, said the metal staple causes "severe damage" to her cornea that required a topical steroid.

3. Don't think she'd have sprung the metal piece loose if she'd gone with the correct size thong.

Just sayin' :hide:

5. Don't blame the store, blame the outfit, who made it, what it's made from, and most importantly

the person who thought it was the best size TO be worn.

Twit!

This case won't last nearly as long as Al Bundy in bed. And that was 3 minutes on a good day...
