Woman Sues Victoria's Secret, Claims Injury From Defective Thong

A Los Angeles woman claims she was injured by her Victoria's Secret thong, prompting her to sue the underwear manufacturer.

The plaintiff in the case, Macrida Patterson, 52, attributed the May 2007 injury to a Victoria's Secret "low-rise v-string," according to a court document posted on The Smoking Gun.

Patterson's lawyer told The Smoking Gun that a "design problem" caused a decorative metallic piece on the underwear to fly up and hit Patterson in the eye while she was putting the underwear on.

Patterson's product liability lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court last week.

The Smoking Gun reported that, prior to the lawsuit, officials from Victoria's Secret had asked to see the offending underwear but were refused by Patterson's lawyer.

    I'm sorry, but a 52 should not be wearing thongs, not matter how good you look. That's could be someone's grandma, disgusting. This lawsuit is bullshit, people just trying to make a quick buck.

    This woman was injured by a product that an inspector did not thoroughly check. It is a viable case. I feel bad for her that it was a pair of underwear. Its embarrassing and obviously all of these idiots that post comments are going to point that out.

    Who the fuck are you to tell people what they should or shouldn't wear? maybe the woman wanted to be sexy for her husband or something? if she's 52 then cannot be sexy anymore and just roll over and die? fucking idiots

    Ok I saw this woman on the TODAY show this morning and my guess is this "healthy" lady maybe didn't fit correctly in a VS thong and therefore it busted open. Reminds me when my friend in high school wore a tight shirt and a button flew off from it being too tight. It sounds like her fault, not VS.

    Re: Canel
    Canel any woman has a right to wear thongs. WTF is wrong with you? Life isn't over at 52 you know geez.
    Anyway in this country you can sue anyone for anything so i'm not surprised this is happening.

    YEA WHEN A FAT ASS TRIES TO PUT ON A SMALL THONG AND STRETCHES THE HELL OUT OF IT, OF COURSE EVERYTHING IS GOING TO POP OFF!!!!! COMMON FREAKIN SENSE. DUMBASS I HOPE SHE LOSES AND FEELS EMBARASSED

    Women of all ages wear thongs to prevent those ugly 'panty lines'. I don't think your age has anything to do with it. She obviously wants $$.

    We have a new stunt for Jackass III The Movie. We can have Johnny Knoxville try on thongs!

    I saw this watermelon eater on CNN with her gook lawyer. how he could sit next to her and say she deserves $$$ for this without laughing was beyond me. there is NO way a thong should be on that fried chicken eatin ass. funny, when VS asked to see the offending drawers, her and her lawyer refused to allow them to examine them. hummmmm…..I wonder why?? was she trying to cram that XXL black booty into XS undies…….anyone remember the old hag that had to be told McD's coffee was HOT??? she got paid, and I am sure this sista will too……

    I work for a Victoria's Secret and unless the woman ripped the thong in the back it's basically impossible for it to do that! I know exactly which ones she was probably wearing and that's just insane, they were a very popular style. She's just crazy!

  49. nasty says – reply to this
    49

    Can you picture the judges face when he reads this in court……I couldnt do it I would laugh so damn hard. Why is this grandma buying thongs in the first place, maybe she thought she was going to get some and she wanted to be sexy. !LOL! !LOL! !LOL!

    1. Americans sue over the most ridiculous things. Have you no common sense, shame or decency?
    2. Thongs are not attractive on anyone
    3. She must have been stretching that thong quite a lot for the metal thingy to fly off at a speed enough to cause injury
    4. VS should sue her for wasting their time and money

    Ah you sue happy americans - always hoping to make a quick buck off of someone else.

    Ewww. F'ing pig. Maybe you shouldn't be wearing a "v string" when you're 52. Uh. I hate people. She was obviously LOOKING for a reason to sue someone….anyone. A little late on this month's bills, perhaps? Pig.

    i saw her on today too. i have seen way to many itty bitty thongs sticking out of the top of pants by larger woman who need bigger ones….girlfriend probably bought one that was too small.

    I saw this on CNN and it said she was trying them on in the fitting room.

    I work for VS and the fact that she was trying them on is the first thing she should have known not to do…unless she was trying them on over her other underwear. Not only is it stupid, but it's disgusting. Is anyone else going to want to wear those things?

    It was probably the SLT's.

    In response to you, f'er (post # 46), you are a racist, ignorant ass. Really, "gook"? "fried chicken eatin ass" i hope you get banned from commenting. it's people like you who make the rest of us look bad.

    and as for this woman… seriously? why would you sue VS? stupid.

    Spare me — she's a LOSER and she's trying to make money. Simply put — Judges NEED to throw these types of retarded law suits out.

    Anyone has the "right" to sue — But the Courts are here to uphold the standards, and ridiculous law suits like this should never, ever see the light of day
