Reuters - Saturday, June 21
LOS ANGELES - 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.
The product liability lawsuit, which was filed on June 9 in Los Angeles Superior Court and first reported on the Smoking Gun Web site, seeks unspecified damages.
A spokeswoman for Victoria's Secret, which is operated by Limited Brands Inc, could not immediately be reached for comment.

I wonder how the metal bit could pop up with projectile force upwards and hit the eye! Wondering if she bought the right size or has she outgrown her thong by any chance?
Yesterday, Gordon Ramsey revealed in a TV interview here in Australia that he recently received a letter of complaint from a customer of his LA restaurant saying that the toilet paper in the restroom there was 'so rough' that it gave her bottom 'red rashes' after using it!
Ramsey says it's 3-ply toilet paper, so he doesn't know how the **** she wiped herself until she got rashes! -

Actually, if you eat food that happens to be contaminated and you end up falling ill because of it, you ought to complain about the restaurant / food handler.
However, if it's your own fault for not refrigerating and/or it properly and consuming it before the recommended expiry date, then it's your own negligence.

Who ask her to buy such fancy thong?
Just a normal one will do lah. Not as if the guy doing her will be more aroused if the thong is nicer. Its coming off anyway.
