LOS ANGELES - A California woman filed a lawsuit last week against lingerie-maker Victoria's Secret, after she claims she was injured by one of the company's defective thongs.

Macrida Patterson, 52, filed court papers in Los Angeles last week, accusing Victoria's Secret to be at fault for an injury she received last month. Patterson said a decorative metallic piece became detached from the panty as she tried to put it on, and hit her in the eye.

Patterson's attorney chalked the problem up to a "design error."

The garment in question is called the "low-rise v-string" from the Victoria's Secret Sexy Little Thing line.

Patterson said the defective underwear caused her permanent corneal damage, and that she had to miss several days of work to get it treated. Her attorney said the injury will affect Patterson for the rest of her life.

Victoria's Secret requested to examine the underwear that caused the injury, but Patterson's attorney denied the request.

I wonder if this has happened to anyone on JSH ?

Never had a problem with a thong. but, i snapped myself in the eye with my bra strap. should i sue myself?

Thongs are not made for comfort, in my humble opinion, but the thong just looked like it had cloth ribbons. Who knows?? Crazy that it made the news, I thought.

what position would you have to be in to get hit in the eye from your underwear

good question

I know several OVER 50 ladies that look dang good in a thong.
Gwen wore & enjoyed them also.

Yeah but if her thong doesnt want her what does that say about her

Talk about a pain in the ass

It was probably a small and she needed an xtra large .......
