Hawaiian Candle Company (HCC) is incorporated in and has its principal place of business in Honolulu, Hawaii. HCC specializes in the production of outdoor "lava candles." The lava gel, when lit, produces a gentle, bubbling, orange glow. HCC sells its candles at its retail stores in Hawaii and California. Pete, a resident of Clemson, South Carolina, was visiting family in San Diego, CA and bought a lava candle at an HCC retail store. He returned to Clemson and used the candle several times without incident. However, a month after purchasing the lava candle, it unexpectedly exploded and burning gel landed on Paul causing multiple serious burns. His medical bills exceeded $50,000 and he was out of work for over 4 months, losing $30,000 in pay. HCC has ignored his requests for compensation so he has decided to sue. In which state(s) and court(s) would it be appropriate for him to file suit? Explain in detail, using appropriate legal terminology.
