A woman from Northern California is suing the makers of a sex toy after a vibrator caused her to bleed heavily and lose consciousness.
April Bonjour had been using the 'marital aid' with her boyfriend when she felt a 'sharp pain' and eventually started slipping in and out of consciousness.
She had to be rushed to hospital and given 'several pints of blood' due to the damage caused by the vibrator.
Miss Bonjour is now taking legal action against the sex toy's manufacturer, Pipedream Products, after claiming the company's product caused her personal injury and emotional distress.
Describing the incident, which happened on November 3 last year, she said: 'During usage I felt an intense sharp pain inside of my vagina. My boyfriend quickly removed the toy, it was covered with blood.
I thought, very briefly, that I had started my period but as the bleeding continued getting heavier and heavier I knew it was not my period. I went through all of my sanitary pads and was passing clots of blood.
'The bleeding slowed down but when I had to get up to change my pad I would pass a clot and then start bleeding again.
'I started to get faint from the loss of blood my boyfriend called 911. By the time they got there I was in and out of consciousness.
My son was woken up so we could go to the hospital. He was terrified at the sight of me.
'He thought I was dying (quite frankly so did I). Once we got to the hospital I had lost so much blood I was given several pints of blood.
'My family and myself have endured extreme emotional duress due to this episode. We have contacted the maker of this product to see what their compensation for the occurrence will be.
'They have denied my claim. It is for this reason I have initiated this lawsuit.'
Pipedream products' website boasts that the company has 'the most comprehensive adult novelty selection in the world', while its motto is: 'We Don't Make the Orgasm...We Make the Orgasm BETTER!'
