OPINION

SUTTON, Circuit Judge.

Robert Fabian, a representative of a yet-to-be-certified class, seeks recovery from a helmet manufacturer for misrepresenting the safety of its helmets.

Because Fabian's factual allegations, when construed in his favor, state a plausible claim for relief, we reverse.
