Cal-ban 3000 was a weight-loss drug made by health care, a florida corporation. tart, a citizen of north carolina, read ads for the product in a newspaper and bought cal-ban in north carolina from a local pharmacy. within a week of taking the supplement, tart suffered a ruptured colon. alleging that the injury was caused by cal-ban, tart sued health care in a north carolina state court. health care asked the court to dismiss the case, arguing that the north carolina court could not exercise personal jurisdiction over health care. the court most likely:
a. dismissed the case because north carolina did not have personal jurisdiction over the defendant, so tart would have to sue in the florida courts. b. refused to dismiss the case, because the defendant had placed the product in the stream of commerce in north carolina and was subject to being sued in north carolina. c. refused to dismiss the case, because it was not fair to make tart travel to florida for trial. d. dismissed the case because the dispute should be tried in a federal court, given that the defendant and the plaintiff were from different states.
