Your sources are clearly not as reliable as you imagine. After all, why would Sador go around telling people he'd stupidly chopped his own foot off when he hadn't– unless there was a good reason? (*cough* hush money *cough*)
Your confusion, I suspect, arises from the fact that Lalaith (outside her parents' hearing) was widely known as "Little Carcharoth". Thus, the servants of Dor-lómin were wont to mutter, "His axe slipped, huh? Don't believe it. I bet it was 'Little Carcharoth', the brat! If she were my child I'd tan her hide!"
