Bought a nearly new TV unit from a private sale last month and it fell apart as soon as I put my TV on it, the drawers dropped on my foot and caused significant injury , I messaged the guy to provide me information of the manufacturer so I can take them to court however he said that he bought it from overseas and he doesn’t know who the manufacturer is

In this situation, is he liable for my injury and compensation? Can i hold him accountable as the manufacturer?
