A woman from the state of Ohio has launched a lawsuit against department store giant Macy’s, over claims that a make-up tester gave her a permanent facial mark.

Judy Pleunik says she visited the cosmetics counter at one of the company’s stores in Feb 2018, and during a consultation an employee drew an “X” on her right cheek.

Now almost 18 months later the mark remains, with Pleunik saying “I want to figure out how to get this off my face”.

Her lawyer has recommended a biopsy so that scientists can figure out what was applied to her skin, while Macy’s wasn’t able to comment on the situation due to it being the subject of ongoing court action.

AN INDONESIAN baby boy has made headlines after his parents made the unusual decision to name him Google.

The proud father, 31-year-old Andi Saputra, said he hoped to give his new son a moniker that would help him in life.

“We considered religious names and also Albar Dirgantara Putra, but when he was born...I took a name from the technology category.”

Saputra told reporters he had also considered names such as Windows, iPhone, Microsoft and iOS, but eventually settled on simply Google, without a surname.

He said just like the search engine, he hopes little Google can “be a useful person”.
