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.
