California Court of Appeal

The trial court properly quashed the service of summons for lack of personal jurisdiction in an action for indemnity for personal injury damages, where: 1) mere foreseeability, at least where products are not sold in a state as part of the regular and anticipated flow of commerce into that state, is not enough to establish minimum contacts with the forum state; and 2) cross-defendant, a Canadian company, was not subject to personal jurisdiction in California because it did not purposefully avail itself of the privilege of conducting activities within the forum state.
