Question: A man was injured when his kitchen oven exploded due to a manufacturing defect. He filed a complaint against the oven manufacturer for personal injury damages. He also added a count for class certification and requested a recall of all similar ovens sold to consumers to stop the danger of physical injury. He created two putative classes: (1) everyone who purchased that model oven who lived in New York, the state where the man resided; and (2) everyone who purchased that model oven who resided in 25 other designated states where the company did business. The manufacturer filed a motion to dismiss the second putative class preliminarily under Rule 12(f) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure which allows for the early striking of any immaterial matter from the complaint. Will the federal district court judge likely grant the motion?
A: Yes, the court will grant it because the plaintiff is not a member of the second class that he set up.
B: Yes, the court will grant it because the plaintiff has not specifically listed the identity of each member of the second putative class.
C: No, the court will not grant it because it is too early to decide class certification issues and it can't be done through Rule 12(f) of the FRCP.
D: No, the court will not grant it because the plaintiff does not have to be a member of the exact class in order to represent that class.
