Mike, the owner of Paradis Skin Care (PSC), after receiving notice that he is being sued by Samantha, decides to go to Vegas for a few days to blow off steam. While in Vegas he meets another couple from California, Jack and Judy Osbourne from San Francisco. Mike tells them all about his skin care line and Judy Osbourne is extremely interested in many of his products. Mike agrees to call them when he returns to Eugene, Oregon to provide more information about his product line and pricing details. He also faxes over a 4-page color brochure outlining the specifics of his company and product line. The couple flies to Portland, Oregon for other business, but Judy decides to drive down to Eugene to visit Mikes retail store in downtown Eugene. Judy purchases an assortment of skin care products from Mike and PSC. A week later, Judy is at home in San Francisco and she decides to try a facial scrub she purchased from Mike and PSC. The scrub causes severe redness and abrasions to her face and leaves scarring on her nose, cheeks and chin. Judy sues Mike for negligence and product liability and files the lawsuit in state court in San Francisco, California. Stan has no other contacts with California.

Again, assume the cause of action (lawsuit basis) is valid, does the state court in California have personal jurisdiction (In Personam) over Mike and PSC?
