A woman sued Oprah Winfrey's studio Thursday, alleging she was injured in a rush for seats during a taping of the talk show host's syndicated TV show.

Tayna Milner said she was pushed down stairs between a waiting area and audience seating at Harpo Studios on April 11, according to the lawsuit filed in Cook County Circuit Court.

Her lawsuit accuses the studio in Chicago's West Loop neighborhood of failing to properly control the crowd, which caused Milner to fall and suffer unspecified injuries, the Chicago Tribune reported on its Web site.

Milner is seeking more than $50,000 in damages.

Phone messages seeking comment were left Thursday night for Milner's attorney, Joseph Curcio, and Harpo Studios.
