Investigation Summary
At 1:30 p.m. on December 23, 2018, an employee was working at a warehouse club or supercenter. She was cleaning up the site's merchandising area and walking back to the shipping department. As she was walking in the aisle, she glanced up to the left and saw three pallets tipping over. It happened so quickly that she did not have any time to react. Boxes of barstools on pallets fell on top of the employee, knocking her to the floor. She sustained a laceration to the back of her head and fractures to the tibia and fibula in her right leg. She was hospitalized.
