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.

Ok, I'll play.
The only way I can see this happening is she got the g-string stuck on her foot, it snapped free, and the metal piece dislodged and hit her in the eye.
If she can't put on her panties without personal injury, she's a real keeper.

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.

The asked to see the item, and were denied?

And where did all this happen?
Was it in a VS store, or in the privacy of her own home?
If it was in a store, there should be a report from the store as to what happened.
