OPINION AND ORDER Plaintiff Arkadiusz Piotrowicz is a former self-employed carpenter who was seriously injured while using a miter saw that he alleges was defectively designed, manufactured, distributed, and sold by Techtronic Industries North America, Inc. (“Techtronic”); One World Technologies, Inc. (“One World”); Ryobi Technologies, Inc. (“Ryobi,” and together with Techtronic and One World, the “Ryobi Defendants”); Home Depot U.S.A., Inc. (“Home Depot”); and Ningbo Dalton Machinery Industrial Company, Ltd. (“Dalton,” and together with the Ryobi Defendants and Home Depot, “Defendants”). Plaintiff brought this action under the Court’s diversity jurisdiction, asserting claims for strict products liability, negligence, and breach of warranty. In this second round of motion practice, Dalton has moved to dismiss the claims and crossclaims asserted against it for lack of personal jurisdiction pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(2). For the reasons that follow, the Court grants Dalton’s motion and dismisses all claims against it. BACKGROUND1 Dalton’s present motion is the second jurisdictional challenge filed in this case. Previously, P&F Brother Industrial Corp. (“P&F”), who has since been dismissed from the case (see Dkt. #121), filed its own motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction (Dkt. #82). By Opinion and Order dated April 30, 2021, the Court denied the motion without prejudice and granted limited jurisdictional discovery to determine whether P&F contributed to the ultimate sale of the saw at issue here. (Dkt. #107). See Piotrowicz v. Techtronic Indus. N. Am., Inc., No. 19 Civ. 11522 (KPF), 2021 WL 1721709, at *6 (S.D.N.Y. Apr. 30, 2021) (“Piotrowicz I”). The Court assumes familiarity with the relevant facts set forth in Piotrowicz I, and discusses here only the factual and procedural background relevant to resolving the narrow issue now before it. A. Factual Background 1. Plaintiff Plaintiff is a resident of Brooklyn, New York, who suffered catastrophic injuries while using a miter saw in New Paltz, New York, on August 21, 2018. (FAC
