Woman Sues Victoria’s Secret For Eye Injury From Thong
JUNE 17–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 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. A copy of her June 9 complaint, which does not specify monetary damages, can be found below. 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, 52, 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.

June 17th, 2008 at 3:26 pmBullshit! I want to see a video re-enactment.
June 17th, 2008 at 3:28 pmOne wonders how much strain that thing was under…
June 17th, 2008 at 3:32 pmPat, the girl on the left, is that the one you blew off a meeting with to go to Iraq…or were you pulling our leg?
June 17th, 2008 at 3:33 pmNope, totally true.
June 17th, 2008 at 3:34 pmPat,
Well then as to your post last Sunday after the radio show, you may have burned the “Supermodel Marriage Proposal” Card…
Or…”YA” will turn that Card into gold and you’ll be fending them off by Christmas
June 17th, 2008 at 3:44 pmPRIIIIITYYYYYY.
June 17th, 2008 at 4:14 pmI got my Dick caught in my Zipper once..lol..can i get anything for that
June 17th, 2008 at 4:17 pmAshame they use Macs. I’m sorry, but I find most Mac users to be insufferable, smug assholes. Their staffs at the Apple stores are even worse; Genius Bar? bullshit!
Anyways, I don’t claim to be an expert on women, by any stretch. But wearing a thong at 52?!
Our litigious society, folks.
June 17th, 2008 at 4:31 pmUh…yeah. I second Kurt’s question. What would have to be done to underwear to cause a metal decoration to fly off it? Also, why was there a metal decoration on a thong in the first place?
June 17th, 2008 at 4:56 pmMaybe a size-1 thong being stretched over a size-18 ass…
It would be like a “Wrist Rocket” slingshot.
BTW does anyone remember those things…do they still make them?
June 17th, 2008 at 5:21 pmyou’re probably right. elastic is great but it only stretches so far
June 17th, 2008 at 6:32 pmWas it a design problem or a weight problem? Cause I’m sure Alessandra there would never run into a problem like this.
