Here we go again with more legal woes for Victoria's Secret. Remember back a few months ago when a woman sued because she was stabbed by her V.S. bra? Well, this time it's a thong doing the damages.

Macrida Patterson is suing Victoria's Secret for an undisclosed monetary sum after her cornea was injured by her thong -- wait, say what now? Why was her thong anywhere near her eye? Maybe this is a story we don't want to get into...

V.S. thongs: A hazard to your health?

Well, actually, that's not the case. What happened is that one of the staples holding on a decorative metal heart snapped off when Macrida was getting dressed. The staple flew off and hit her in the eye, causing not one, but three cuts in her cornea.

To hear Macrida's side of the story check out her video on UsWeekly. Her lawyer says this is about making his client "whole," again.

Who knew such a tiny little thong could cause such distress!?!
