An American woman has sued a top fashion retailer alleging that she found a dead rat sewn into the hem of her new dress she bought. But when she finally wore the garment to work a few weeks later, she noticed a "disturbingly pungent odour" coming from it. Thank god I had something to change into," Fiesel said.

A spokesman for Zara USA said the company "is aware of the suit and we are investigating the matter further".Her suit states that she not only suffered emotional distress from the incident, but also developed a large rash that was diagnosed as a "rodent-born disease".She has sued for unspecified damages, saying the retailer owed her a "duty of care" to manufacture dresses that were "free from defects, including rodent infestations".At first, everything seemed fine."

I felt something brushing up against my leg and thought it was a string from the seam of the dress," Fiesel said."Zara USA has stringent health and safety standards, and we are committed to ensuring that all of our products meet these rigorous requirements," he said. I froze — I wasparalysed with fear," Fiesel told the New York Post.

I then felt the hem of the dress and it felt like there was some sort of sensor. My eyes saw that it was a mouse but my brain told myself it can’t be," she said. "Despite getting up from her desk and walking around, she was unable to escape the odour," according to her lawsuit, filed in the Manhattan Supreme Court on Monday.Cailey Fiesel, 24, of Manhattan, has claimed that the outfit she bought from the fashion retailer Zara had a dead rodent sewn into the seam. "I changed immediately.A label on the rodent-bearing dress said it was made in Turkey.The Colgate University graduate had bought the http://www.bhsbearings.com/ plain bearing manufacturers black scoop-neck dress for $40 from a Zara location in Greenwich, Connecticut, in July.Fiesel only made the disgusting discovery when the dress started stinking and she felt the animal’s paw poking her in the leg, according to a new lawsuit.

I turned up the seam of the dress and saw it was not a sensor and that it was a mouse," Fiesel said.The shock changed to panic and Fiesel jumped out of her desk chair at her Manhattan office and ran to the bathroom.Fiesel’s attorney Adam Deutsch has preserved the dress, with the embedded rodent, in a vacuum-sealed pouch to use as evidence at trial."I was in complete shock."I saw the little leg that was coming out of the seam that I had touched, which was really horrifying."When I went to pull at it, it didn’t feel like a string
