$14 Million Lawsuit Against Costco: Woman Sues After Cabinet Display Falls and Leaves Her with Life-Changing Injuries!

A shocking incident at Costco has led to a massive lawsuit! A Sonoma County woman is now demanding over $14 million from the retail giant after a faulty cabinet display fell on her, causing catastrophic injuries that could change her life forever!

Sadie Novotny, who was simply shopping at the Santa Rosa Costco on March 22, 2025, found herself trapped beneath a display that allegedly toppled without warning. The lawsuit claims that Costco’s negligence and unsafe display setup left Novotny with permanent injuries, including a traumatic brain injury. Can you believe this happened at a major retailer like Costco?

Novotny is suing for a staggering $14 million in damages, and she’s not holding back:

• $5 million for pain and suffering

• $5 million for emotional distress

• $100,000 for medical expenses and lost earnings

• $4 million for future medical expenses and loss of earnings

But that’s not all… the lawsuit also claims Costco’s dangerous shelving system was the cause of the fall! Novotny alleges the cabinet had thin legs and was placed on a worn-out pallet, making it unstable. Was this an accident waiting to happen?

The lawsuit says Costco failed to spot the unsafe condition and neglected to warn customers or train employees to manage the display safely. Could Costco’s lack of safety oversight lead to even MORE lawsuits in the future?

The big-box retailer is facing a serious legal battle, with a case management meeting scheduled for September 2025. Could this case set a precedent for other lawsuits against the retail giant? Will Costco be forced to make changes to ensure this never happens again?

Stay tuned to see if Costco will be held accountable for this shocking incident and whether Sadie Novotny gets the justice—and the $14 million—she’s demanding.
