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, 52, 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 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. (4 pages)

I think the decorative piece is supposed to hold the strings together...
She is the "meter lady", who gives out parking tickets. I guess some drivers, who got parking tickets, might feel better if they end up seeing this lady's...Never mind.
Local TV news didn't show her picture though...
War is hell. Really. Cripes. Gorblimey ...
If you don’t want pantie lines go commando.
52 year old woman. Thong.
This thread is perfectly fine without pics, thank you very much!
“She is the “meter lady”, who gives out parking tickets”

Gawd, I;m blind!!
If the sight of a 52 year old woman in a thong struck me in the eye, I’d be looking for someone to sue, too.
;^)
Sounds like yet-another I’ll-go-after-someone-with-deep-pockets lawsuit. They should throw this crap out of court. As far as the thong, my wife swears by them...
Lots of people eyeball thongs, but this is ridiculous.
Looks like the boys were warming that crowd up for Obama.
I guess she did not feel her new thong was everything it was cracked up to be...
Young Ralphina writes an essay for her dear teacher about what she wants for Christmas - a Victoria's Secret thong; but, instead of the praise she expected hears the dreaded “You'll shoot your eye out!”
OMG!
That poor woman :-(
Her belly button.
