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.
Dear 
Another bitch looking to make a quick buck!!!
i saw her this a.m on the today show!!! mayb her chunky ass shouldnt have been tryin to squeeeeeeze into a thong.
What was this fat arsed loser doing with a thong any way? Using it for a sling shot???? What an idiot.
Ewwww! Maybe she should switch to plain briefs (more reasonable for her age and weight).
Stupid lawsuit. Stupid reporters, including perez, for reporting this story. They just want to say "thong" over and over again. giggle. I can't imagine her winning anything. Silly lawyer for taking this lawsuit. But she is providing excellent free advertising for Victoria's Secret - They market just as much to the middle aged women; I worked with a woman in her 50's who I once ran into comming out of VS. She has a better body than most women half her age. See, you too can wear sexy undies. Just be sure not to break them.
Re: f u f – racist?? ignorant ass?? FUCK YOU. MY opinion. which I have a right to. this chitlin eatin porch monkey has no business wearing white woman's clothes anyway. (was that racist enough for your fucking fuck of a waste of space ass??) FUCK YOU AGAIN. kiss my ass too. I can say what I want. If this dumb bitch and her piece of shit "lawyer" can go on TV and say these things, then I get my shot. when I heard the story, without looking up, I knew she was a sista. looking for a buck. VS needs to sue her ass into the poorhouse for the bad publicity this has brought them. course, I DON'T THINK YOU CAN GARNISH A WELFARE CHECK. (wow, guess that was pretty racist too, huh. TOUGH SHIT!!) this is a joke, just like her. YOU seemed to miss that. lesson over dumbass piece of monkey fucking shit……
fatasssss shouldn't be trying to shove her jelly rollssssssss into something that wasn't made to fit her. i'm sure she'll get some money out of them of course…….. the great american way. get something for being a big fat idiot and crying about it.
Typical.
Fat negresses are always trying to stuff their fat asses and fat pussies into thongs.
And negroes are always trying to get a check, trying to get paid for nothing.
Typical.
She is to old to be wearin a damn drawstring anyway. That is wat ha ass get.
Re: f u f – Number 57, maybe the gook ambulance-chaser can inteerest the big-big-butt chitterling-eaten negress in a chinese-swing…???!!!
Okay, first of all, WHAT THE HELL IS A 52 YEAR OLD DOING WEARING A THONG??????? And second of all, EEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!
Only in America…
um.. rrrriiiiiight…
that's just an "eye roll" situation lol, she must really be that fat to make a something fly up to an eye
oh please, people can sue for whatever they want to , it doesn't mean she will win. What a fucktard.
Thats so ridiculous….Im embarrased for woman everywhere! Sueing for something like that just proves how ignorant some people are. Stupid!!!!
wtf?!?!?!?!?! 52 years old?
what was she doing with a VS underwear?
52 year old grandma-ma was trying to squeeze into the x-small g-string, when the elastic gave out with such force that it forced the decorative to fly out and hit her in the eye….
Buyers beware:
Do NOT try to squeeze into an x-small g-string or your eyes will suffer!
LMAO! First of all, what the hell is her eye doing down there anyways?? Second, when you're an XL, don't think you can still fit into an XS. And third, who wears a G string (Victoria's Secret calls in V string) at the age of 52?? My mom is 52 and wouldn't be caught dead wearing one!!! I wear their V strings all the time and have Never had a problem!!
THE THONG SHOULD SUE HER.
I saw this on the Today Show, this lady had no business even wearing that thong. She was at least an XL and the panties were from the Sexy Little Things collection, which only are sold in S, M & L. A very small Large at that. One side was held together with a tiny metal heart that obviously couldn't take the pressure from being pulled way, way too tight over her hips.
is she shure it wasnt her boyfriends jizzthat got in her eye shurely she is mistaken…..
This is so fake! I read a couple more articles about this and she was hit by a sexy little thing panty. I have worked at Victoria's Secret for over a year and a half. Very few SLT panties actually have metal on them, and the ones that do, the metal is very small and on the back of the thong. How can something go from above your ass to your eye? I read someone's comment that said she was a big woman. The largest size the panties come in is large, which can only fit a woman up to a size 10. The bitch is a fat, dirty liar!!! haha
probably trying to squeeze a XL ass in XS thong.
I'm guessing the thong got caught on her belly fat which made the metal piece go flying. Fat ass!
I saw that lady AND the offending thong on TV this morning, and let me tell you… the only reason she got injured was because the damn thing was three sizes too small for her fat ass!!
Wow that "metal piece' apparently flew upwards VERY fast and VERY far….or what was she doing with her face down there? I really hope this judge just throws the whole case out and charges her court costs for wasting everyone's time!!
Ummm… here's a THOUGHT- maybe 50+ yr. old women SHOULD NOT be wearing THONGS!
If you look at the photo of the g-string, the metal bit is clearly on the back - if the metal bit did "fly off" or whatever, how the f**k did it manage to hit her in the eye? What kind of weird yoga pose does this woman get in to put her underwear on?
well duh… that's why…. you shouldn't be wearing a thong at 52!
God.
Why do people always try and sue over the stupidest things?
She probably smacked herself in the face with her hand trying to yank a tiny thong over her massive hips.
wow. First of all, I highly doubt that woman looks good wearing that thong at 52- cottage cheese everyone? Second, this is one of the most rediculous cases I have heard in while. Has anyone ever heard of an accident?
She shouldn't be wearing things in the first place! This is a new low of reasons to sue.
Re: Gwen – Hahahaha awesome loves it.Re: Gwen –
Only in the states can someone get away with something this ridiculous. A woman of her proportions shouldn't even consider wearing thongs.. Nobody's worried about your underwear line honey, TRUST ME!!
WTF LOL
I would not be admitting that to people
NICE! LOL HAHAHAHA
Just food for thought……I saw a good question surrounding this case - how big was the gal wearing the thong and just how little was the thong ?? and WTF is she doing using her big hairy toe as a projectile for the thong to be thrown to her lover but it rickashayed off her large butt hitting the lamp and well you know the rest…..tee heei!!!
she's too old to wear a thong anyway
LOL - and I thought the McDonald's coffee lawsuit was absurd.
stupid old people.
Why people pay money for butt floss and permanent wedgies is still a mystery to me.
noooooo she just needs to sue VS for letting her buy a thong in the first place!
ok
obviously she was too fat for the thong its really not their fault
sueing ove such a stupid thing
what a money hungry douchebag.
HAAAHAAAHAAHAAHAAAHAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAA… OMG this is too funny!!! I be she's going to get laughed out of the courtroom!!!
This is ridiculous!!! When are people going to take responsibility for themselves. A defective product?!?!?! She admitted she had worn that underwear atleast twice before! She probably just got fat and it broke. Or it got loose in the laundry (which she probably should have hand washed it anyways) What a lame case and how pathetic.
I work for Victoria's Secret and I definitely have to say this customer issue is the strangest I have ever heard!! Usually your face is NOWHERE near your panties when you put them on… but that could just be me I guess…
Who the hell tries on underwear??? That is disgusting, at 52 you should know what size you wear already anyway. She was probably trying to steal them!
this sounds really stupid.how the heck do you get attacked by a thong?
haha…you should find craig ferguson's monologue about this on youtube…i believe it was the monologue for monday or tuesday. HILARIOUS!!
EXPLAIN TO ME WHY THIS IS SOOO OUTLANDISH?
FUCKING CORPORATIONS AND ALL THEIR G-DAMNED MONEY IT WOULDN'T FUCKING KILL THEM TO MAKE SAFE PRODUCTS! I SAW THIS ON THE TODAY SHOW AND THE WOMAN SCRATCHED HER CORNEA. I'M SORRY IF SOMETHING IS DEFECTIVE, THEY SHOULD PAY UP!! IT'LL PROBABLY COST THEM ONE HOUR'S WORTH OF THONG SALES!
ALSO THESE SUITS ARE NOT STUPID, YOU FRIGGIN MORONS ONLY READ THE BARE FACTS AND DO NOTHING MORE THAN JUDGE AFTER READING ONLY "THE JUICY FACTS." IE THE MCDONALD'S COFFEE CASE. AN ELDERLY WOMAN BURNED HERSELF BY SPILLING COFFEE ON HERSELF IN HER CAR. YEAH, SHE WAS CLUMSY, BUT THE LIDS WERE NOT AS SAFE AS THEY SHOULD BE (IF A COMPANY CAN MAKE A PRODUCT MORE SAFE AND IT WON'T COST THEM MORE MONEY, THAN IT'S THEIR BAD) AND MCDONALDS SERVED THEIR COFFEE WELL OVER THE LEGAL LIMIT AT UTTERLY SCALDING. SHE SUFFERED 3D DEGREE BURNS. THE WOMAN JUST WANTED MCDONALDS TO PAY HER HOSPITAL FEES BUT WHEN THEY REFUSED THEY WENT FOR PUNITIVE DAMAGES! THE COST TO PAY FOR THEIR LOSS WAS 1 WHOLE DAY'S WORTH OF COFFEE SALES. BIG FUCKING WHOOP. FUCKING CORPORATIONS!
It's the 21st century people! Practice proper hygiene and you don't need underwear. (Unless you can't control your bowels.)
Ummmm…what is a 52 year old doing wearing a thong anyway? GROSSS.
Oh my gosh, this is so freaking funny! Come on, what is the world coming to? I think colleges should have a course called "Professional Suing" There are so many people out there that will sue for anything! Grow up and also, the lawyers need to grow up also because they are making their money from these "Professional Suers"
She to old to be wearing thongs ne way…bitch…suing for that stupid ass reason…
Um,if you're over 50,WTF are you doing in a "low-rise" anything???
this is a bogus law siut i'm sorry if you get hurt putting on a thong you have some serious problems.. how hard is it to put on undies??? plus getting hit in the eye with a metallic peice willl only hurt for so long. she only out to get the attention and money.. exspecially if she wont show the undies to the officials…
angela_lushious
Now, I would love to see THAAT sh-+ on the runway.
IDIOT!
Just one more reason why old bags shouldn't be wearing glittery low rise thongs
I HAVE THAT SAME THONG IT ALSO ALMOST TOOK MY EYE OUT
CLASS ACTION SUIT IS IN ORDER. WHERE DO I SIGN-UP?
the undies didnt do it!! why should they have to suffer the consequences!! and if i were a pair of undies about to go on some 52 year old butt i wud try to poke her in the eye too!!
52 year olds shouldn't be wearing freakin thongs anyways.
you HAVE GOT to be kidding me.
stupid bitch. people need to stop being uneducated so they can EARN MONEY.
stupid bitch.
HAHAHAHAH
omg a 52 yr ols shouldnt be waerin a thong any ways nasty…just pictuer it…
oh my god, i stubbed my toe on my bed once, i should probably sue the company.
eww shes 52 and a thong, those two don't mix
Who trys on a g-string at a store anyway? Hasn't anyone heard of hygiene? Serves her right for getting flicked in the eye. Feral
wow… that woman must be really talented for that to happen… it takes a special kind of person to do that….
Re: ESQ – No "corporate conspiracy" here, number 151. Just a chubby 52-year-old doing something she's too chubby and too old to be doing. She ought to know better.
Now the hoochie, stupider than I had originally thought, has gone on to show her face on national TV. She has chosen to be a public laughing stock, and chosen to be the butt (sorry, couldn't help it) of jokes for weeks now.
I pity her children, her grandchildren, and her mother, all her relatives, and all of her hometown.
In the quest to get paid, and the quest for celebrity, she has proven herself a fool and a money hungry litigious stereotype. If you know what I'm saying.
EEEEEWWWWW That is nasty! Why is a woman over 50 wearing a thong, with decorative metallic pieces on it? Some things are just WRONG!!!
That's what happens when you wear cheap panties. Anyone who wears Vicki's Secret crap is assuming the risk of injury.
je suis une fanne de la colection vectoria secret et jadore
I don't wear thongs. I'm waiting until I get into my 70's and then I'm gonna rock em all the time
In the land of litigation, nothing surprises me.
What is a 50+ something woman wearing a G string anyway?
Re: Canel – LMFAO I Know Right Shes Like A Fuckin Grandma And Shes Wearin A Thong Lmfao
