STEVENS, Chief Judge.

This is an appeal from the decree and judgment of the lower court granting the defendant-appellee's motion to dismiss plaintiff's complaint for want of jurisdiction.

On 13 December 1961, the plaintiff, Vivian Phillips, brought this action in the Superior Court of Maricopa County against Anchor Hocking Glass Corporation, for breach of express and implied warranties. In the complaint plaintiff alleged that she was injured when a baking dish manufactured by the defendant broke on 14 February 1960 while being used by her in her home in Phoenix, Arizona. The allegations of plaintiff's complaint established that the defendant was an Ohio corporation, that it did 'business and maintains offices and effects in Lancaster, Ohio,' and that plaintiff purchased one of the defendant's products from the defendant. The record is silent as to the place of purchase.

The defendant manufacturer was served by registered mail under the provisions of Rule 4(e)(2), as amended, of the Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure, 16 A.R.S. In part the rule reads as follows:

'4(e)(2) Summons; personal service out of state. When the defendant * * * is a corporation doing business in this state, or is a * * * corporation * * * which has caused an event to occur in this state out of which the claim which is the subject of the complaint arose, service may be made as herein provided, and when so made shall be of the same effect as personal service within the state. * * *'

The plaintiff contended that the defendant caused an event to occur in this State out of which the claim which is the subject of the complaint arose.
