A California woman is seeking over $14 million in damages from Costco after alleging that she sustained multiple, permanent, and catastrophic injuries while shopping at the Santa Rosa store. Sadie Novotny claims a heavy liquor cabinet display fell on her during a visit in March 2023, causing severe head and body injuries.
Novotny’s lawsuit accuses Costco of failing to protect customers and provide adequate warning about the site’s conditions. The complaint also alleges that the company was negligent in maintaining its premises, specifically with regards to the display’s thin legs and defective pallet.
