Product Liability Case Against a Chocolate Manufacturer in the Eastern District of New York

The defense was alleging that my client did not serve defendant correctly and pursuant to the Hague Convention, as the Defendant is located in Israel. They claimed Defendant had to be served in a specific manner as well. They also alleged a lack of personal jurisdiction. After I took over the client’s case, I immediately had defendant served via postal channels pursuant to the Hague Convention and pointed out there was personal jurisdiction pursuant to stream of commerce. The defense quickly abandoned both arguments, which they previously claimed they were going to pursue in a Rule 12 motion to dismiss.
