A woman is suing Victoria's Secret in a New York court, claiming negligence involving the metal hoops in their swimsuits.
The $2 million lawsuit claims Dawn Giugliano of Long Island, N.Y., has been left permanently scarred after laying out in the sun in one of the popular lingerie company's swimsuits, the New York Post reported Saturday.
Giugliano said she "was using the bathing suit as intended" and "was seriously injured" when the metal ring that held the suit's top cups together was super heated and burned a circle into her chest.
"It left a permanent, disfiguring scar in the middle of her chest," said her lawyer, Luke Bigelow.
"You think they'd realize that people would wear this in the sun," he added.
The lawsuit against Victoria's Secret charges the company with negligence.
"It looks like a bull's-eye in the middle of her chest," Bigelow said, adding that Giugliano has had plastic surgery to get rid of the scar, but it did not work.
When reached for a comment, the bathing suit top had nothing to say.
My kingdom for a bowl of bran flakes.
One of the most decisive battles in the history of Europe was fought in Belgium on June 18, 1815, as a resurgent Napoleon Bonaparte launched his last military offensive against the Duke of Wellington and the Prussian Marshal Blücher. Nearly 50,000 men were killed in the battle. Napoleon lost in part due to a case of inflamed hemorrhoids
The battle was commemorated by Swedish sensation Abba in their 1970s hit, "Waterloo."
Abba's interpretation of Waterloo's significance has been controversial from the start, as it tended to focus less on the military and political implications of the battle than on the feelings of euphoria typically incited by hormonal rushes of erotic excitement.
On June 18, 1817, Waterloo Bridge was opened over the River Thames in London, probably in anticipation of the great Abba hit.
