US woman sues bikini maker over third-degree burns from bra underwire
New York, June 20 (ANI): A woman in the US has sued a bikini maker after she ended with third-degree burns on her bust because the underwire in her two-piece bathing suit became superheated. Robin Corrente, 50, of Yaphank, wore the black Coco Reef swimsuit on a 90-degree afternoon in August 2008 to soak up some rays in her yard. "After about an hour, I was hurting. I went up to take a shower and I realized . . . I had a lot of blisters," the New York Post quoted her as saying. When she made a trip to the hospital, it was confirmed that she had serious burns, and doctors had to remove a piece of flesh "the size of a dime" from her right breast. Corrente is suing Coco Reef manufacturer Swimwear Anywhere in Manhattan Supreme Court. (ANI)
