Sadie Novotny from Sonoma County is suing Costco for over $14 million due to serious injuries sustained when a cabinet display fell on her in the Santa Rosa store. The lawsuit claims negligence and products liability, asserting that the cabinet was precariously placed on an inadequate pallet and had thin legs. The case was transferred to federal court at Costco's request. Novotny seeks compensation for pain, emotional distress, medical expenses, and loss of earnings, with a preliminary court meeting set for September.
The lawsuit alleges Costco is responsible for negligence, premises liability and products liability.
Specifically, the lawsuit says the cabinet 'had thin legs' and was negligently displayed in a precarious position.
