Rosy Mizrachi Gindi of Brooklyn got a $10,000 ring stuck on her finger while at the East 57th Street Chanel store. Both the ring and her finger were intact after a three hour emergency room visit, but now Gindi is suing Chanel for unspecified damages.

Doctors were able to remove the ring—which her lawyer says is worth "at least $10,000"—without cutting it. (Were there Chanel security guards looming over their shoulders at the hospital, perhaps?) Now, she's suing Chanel for unspecified damages in Brooklyn Supreme Court. We're kind of thinking that maybe the lawsuit is to cover up the embarrassment of getting caught in Chanel trying to squeeze a too-small ring on your finger and getting it stuck in front of the salespeople.

Does Gindi have a case or is this just another ridiculous lawsuit?

That's why rings have sizes! Best Rule of thumb, don't put your fat fingers in rings that are not your size.

Did she try it out at the shop or at home?If it was at home then she was careless not to try it at the shop.I think she should have looked at the size of the hole and the circumference of her finger.

That's why we have ring size charts. Don't know your size? Ask the employees for a chart and compare.

She probably had no intention to buy the ring. Maybe she thought if she got the ring stuck on her finger and then told the store that she was going to sue them that Chanel would let her keep the ring!

If she managed to get it on there, she should have been able to get it off. It's not Chanel's fault. What exactly are they supposed to have done wrong?

Sidenote: getting a ring stuck on my finger is one of my greatest fears.

Not necessarily :/ You can be skinny or average and still get stuck in something that is too small. There's always a smaller size...

I might have though that they would give it to her but NOT!!!! I bet they paid for the ER visit.. She should not get nothing, she very lucky they didn't cut ring off because she would have to pay for that.

If she really had to stick it on her own finger then she should have asked for the size of the ring first,before pushing the ring down.Rings can be harder to get off than they are putting on.

You know how big your fingers are. Therefore you know what size of ring can fit them
If you are too stupid to not know, that's okay, but don't blame and/or sue the store you bought it in, cuz it's your own damn fault, that your finger was stuck in the first place right?

I think Chanel should SUE HER (for taking the ring out of the store WITHOUT PAYING FOR IT)!

Didn't Brittany Spears have charges filed for doing "something similar" with a necklace?

That is the 2nd most ridiculous thing I've heard all day. When you walk into a jewelry store (if you're not an idiot) then you know they typically carry size 7 rings and you have to have one sized for you if you're any different than that. If you don't know your size they have things you can try on to figure it out. I'm willing to bet this woman knew the ring would get stuck and went in there with intentions of this whole thing happening. It's just like the case of the finger in the chili at Wendy's.

Because some people make careers out of suing companies. Usually for stupid reasons such as this.
