Bay Area Woman Sues Costco for Millions After Cabinet Display Allegedly Fell on Her

On April 19, Sadie Novotny filed a lawsuit against Costco Wholesale Corporation following an incident on March 22 at the Santa Rosa store where a display cabinet reportedly collapsed onto her.
The lawsuit alleges Costco acted negligently, failed to manage store merchandise properly, and that a worn wooden pallet caused the cabinet to fall.
Novotny alleges that the unstable cabinet with thin legs led to serious and lasting harm, including a brain injury.
She is pursuing over $14 million in total compensation, allocating $5 million to cover emotional distress and another $5 million for pain, suffering, and inconvenience.
Costco filed for the case to be transferred to federal court on June 5, with a hearing planned for September.
