2. Paula was born and raised in California, where she attended UCLA. After graduation, Paula decides to settle down and start a family with Donald in New York, where she moves after they get married. After having their first child (Ruby), Paula and Donald purchase a new, fancy crib at the popular furniture store, Desks & Doors, Inc. Desks & Doors is a Delaware corporation with headquarters in Houston, Texas. When Ruby is one month old, she develops a severe allergic reaction, and her parents discover that the cause is the lead-based paint used on the crib. After doing some research, Paula comes across the recently enacted, "Safe Furniture Act," which says, "No furniture provider may make available for purchase any piece of furniture that contains lead paint. "The Act later says, "Any customer who has suffered physical injury as a result of lead paint on furniture may seek to recover damages up to the amount of health care costs. Service of process may only be made via certified mail or in-hand delivery of the complaint and summons to the defendant. Paula comes to you as her attorney, seeking to file a claim under the federal "Safe Furniture Act" as well as a garden-variety negli- gence claim against Desks & Doors. May Paula file in federal court?
