A lawsuit filed against Victoria’s Secret might at first have you laughing, but it’s still interesting:

A California woman, saying she was injured by a faulty staple linking a jeweled-heart adornment to her underwear thong, has filed a lawsuit against Victoria’s Secret, it was reported during an interview with the plaintiff and her attorney on Thursday’s Today show.

Marcrida Patterson, 52, is claiming permanent damage to her cornea after an allegedly defective "low-rise v-string" (part of Victoria’s Secret’s "Sexy Little Thing" line) flew apart and struck her in the eye, says her June 9 filing, according to Los Angeles NBC affiliate KNBC, which earlier reported the story.

The suit does not specify monetary damages being sought, and, despite numerous attempts to press Patterson’s lawyer into naming a figure, Today anchor Meredith Vieira essentially brought the interview to an end after he repeatedly dodged answering.

The attorney insisted the lawsuit was about consumer protection. Victoria’s Secret had no comment.

It is hard to believe that a staple could cut through the cornea in three different places after flying off a thong. I might believe one cut, but only a scratch. In my opinion, the lawsuit sounds bogus, and very difficult to prove.

• Juicy Couture Sues Victoria’s Secret

Juicy Couture filed a lawsuit against Victoria’s Secret in Manhattan for stealing its idea for the seat-of-the-pants logos. The suit says:

"The similarities are not inadvertent and are designed to capitalize on the success of Juicy Couture."

Juicy also accuses Victoria’s Secret of selling apparel wrapped in the shape of lollipops, bon bons, and ice cream cones to mimic the success of Juicy’s Sweet Shoppe packaging.

Juicy asked a judge to order all the offending clothes destroyed and award it triple damages, three times the profits Victoria’s Secret made through its alleged idea thefts.

This isn’t the first time Victoria’s Secret has been accused of stealing ideas. Last week, a single mom from Long Island accused Victoria’s Secret of stealing her patented idea for a convertible bra that can be worn with or without straps.

Katerina Plew claims she e-mailed the company a photograph of her idea in 2003 and was shocked to find it in a Long Island Victoria’s Secret store a year later.

Who’s side are you on?
