• holding defendant’s knowledge that 5% of its products would be sold to New York consumers sufficient to infer reasonable expectation of being subjected to suit in New York
• jurisdiction not found on basis of isolated event; statute requires showing of “discernible effort ... in the forum state”
• approximately 5% of the defendant foreign corporation’s products reached New York each year over an averaged eight year period
• long-arm jurisdiction held proper over manufacturer who placed allegedly defective product into interstate commerce and reasonably expected some of the products to be sold to New York customers
• nondomiciliary shoe manufacturer should have expected New York consequences from its manufacture of shoes because it was aware that a Tennessee distributor to which its shoes were shipped would distribute them to New York retailers
