Question:
The Blowout Company is a German corporation and manufacturer of the California Custom tire, a tire that is compatible with Harley Davidson motorcycles manufactured in the United States. Tofu Granola, a resident of Santa Cruz, California, purchased a pair of California Custom tires for his Harley. Granola purchased the tires from Goodstone Tires, Inc., a California corporation, at its store in Half Moon Bay, California. The Blowout Company and Goodstone provided assistance to their customers through maintenance of a toll-free hotline. Granola subsequently suffered severe injuries in an accident caused by the separation of the tread on the front tire of his Harley. If Granola files a lawsuit against Blowout in California state court, does such court have personal jurisdiction over Blowout? Why or why not?
