Woman Sues Victoria Secret Over Thong Injury

THONG takes woman’s eye out:

As she was attempting to put on a Victoria’s Secret thong, a Los Angeles woman claims that a decorative metallic piece flew off the garment and struck her in the eye, causing injuries and a new product liability lawsuit against the underwear giant. Macrida Patterson, 52, alleges that she was hurt last May by a defective “low-rise v-string” from the Victoria’s Secret “Sexy Little Thing” line, according to a lawsuit filed last week in Los Angeles Superior Court…

Patterson’s lawyer, Jason Buccat, told TSG that a “design problem” caused the decorative piece to come loose and strike Patterson in the eye, causing damage to her cornea. He added that the eye injury, which caused Patterson to miss a few days of work, will be “affecting her the rest of her life.” Patterson is a traffic officer with L.A.’s Department of Transportation. Prior to the lawsuit’s filing, Victoria’s Secret officials asked to examine the garment and the decorative piece, but that request was rejected by Patterson’s counsel.

For those unfamiliar with “v-strings,” the undergarment is the Victoria’s Secret variant on the “g-string,” which has long been favored in the battle against visible panty lines.

I’m a big girl aswell. And with what they’re all saying it’s nothing to do with how big she is. It’s the fact she could possibly fitting into smaller clothes? There’s no real big dig at larger people. Some jokes may be hurtful, but don’t retaliate, that’ll just make them do it more. Enough of that bit anyway!

She won’t let the Victoria’s Secret officals look at the unerwear? Hmm.. Funny if you ask me, maybe she’s been doing things in them that caused the metal thing to fly in her eye

Look, I am a big girl. It is hard enough to find in-style clothes as it is. I think you should stop judging people because of their weight. I think it is sad that people still think it is okay to make fun of larger people. I was teased all my life, even when I was a size 14. I think everyone needs to back off the issue of her being large and see that their might have been a true problem. It is really sad when you still can’t get respect in America due to our size. It is wrong to make fun of disabled people and those of different races, but it is still okay for people to bash one another over there size. It is a sad day when people only see your size not your mind and intelligence. Please take time to ask yourself how would you feel if someone said you was not good enough because of your size. No Matter What Size You Are!!!!

The only way this piece would have hit her in the eye is if she was using the v-string as a sling shot….and like others have said, if she had underwear that fit her properly she wouldn’t have this issue! I would be way too embarassed to even make this a lawsuit.
