District Court of Appeal of Florida

Dismissal of a products liability claim against a chemical importer is affirmed where the claim of jurisdiction over the defendant did not satisfy the long-arm statute since the defendant did not directly cause injury in Florida, thus the defendant did not have sufficient contacts with the state to justify the exercise of jurisdiction.
