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.
