Takata Airbags and Deadly Defects

Takata airbags have been linked to at least 23 deaths and 290 injuries worldwide, including 15 deaths in the US. The explosion of certain Takata airbags sprays metal shrapnel inside vehicles, leading to serious and sometimes fatal injuries. Toyota is not the only automaker affected by these defective airbags. Nineteen automakers worldwide are recalling vehicles fitted with defective Takata airbags. To date, 21 deaths have been linked to Takata airbags in Honda vehicles, and two deaths have been linked to Takata airbags in Ford vehicles. Both companies have urged drivers not to drive recalled vehicles until the appropriate parts are replaced.
