A routine shopping trip turned into a nightmare for a California woman hailing from Sonoma County who now demands £11.2 million ($14.1 million) from the retail giant Costco after a heavy display cabinet allegedly collapsed onto her, causing a traumatic brain injury that continues to plague her months later.
Sadie Novotny filed the explosive lawsuit against Costco Wholesale Corporation following the 22nd March 2025 incident at the company's Santa Rosa store, where she claims a large liquor cabinet display suddenly toppled over without warning, pinning her beneath its weight.
