Takata Airbag Injuries in Pensacola

The biggest safety concern with these airbags is that they use ammonium nitrate-based propellant without a chemical drying agent. As a result, factors such as high temperatures, environmental moisture, and age can cause the airbag to explode, sending shrapnel into the driver or passenger of the vehicle. This could lead to serious injuries and sometimes even death.

Takata airbag injuries are pretty serious, to say the least. One graphic report revealed that the victim's face was damaged to the point that first responders thought she had been shot or stabbed in the head. Unfortunately, she succumbed to her injuries three days later.

An airbag is the last thing you expect to harm you during a car accident. On the contrary, it should be one of your first lines of defense against the accident's impact. 

But this company's failure to manufacture a safe product is what caused the death of more than 26 people and serious injuries to at least 400 victims.
