New Jersey residents can sue foreign companies in state court, high court rules
Carmel Sileo
The New Jersey Supreme Court has ruled that a foreign manufacturer can be sued in New Jersey state court for selling dangerous products there. In affirming an intermediate court decision, the states highest court held that a foreign manufacturer that places a defective product in the stream of commerce through a distribution scheme that targets a national market, which includes New Jersey, may be subject to the in personam jurisdiction of a New Jersey court in a product liability action. (Nicastro v. McIntyre Machinery, 2010 WL 343563 (N.J. Feb. 2, 2010).)
