Takata Airbag Recall

Takata is a major manufacturer of car parts. From 2002 to 2008, the company’s air bags were installed in millions of vehicles from most major auto manufacturers, including BMW, Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, General Motors, Honda and more. The air bags were intended to save lives, but unfortunately ended up causing serious injury and sometimes death due to product defects.

The Takata air bag’s propellant may deteriorate over time, particularly as the car is exposed to changing temperatures and humidity. As a result, air bag deployment causes over-aggressive combustion. If conditions are right, the inflator housing then ruptures in the process, sending metal shards into the passenger cabin.

Fatalities have been reported as a result of Takata air bag defects. Hundreds more devastating injuries, including disfigurement to the face and neck, have also been linked to the defective products and other air bag recalls.

Negligence In Product Design, Manufacturing And Distribution

This kind of company-wide and industry-wide negligence in automotive product design, manufacturing, marketing and distribution often leads to injuries for individual consumers. At Healy Scanlon Law Firm, we cannot in good conscience let businesses avoid liability, even if only a handful of people get injured.
