Takata Airbag Recall Class Action Lawsuit Resource Released by Florida Injury Attorney
West Palm Beach, FL (PRWEB) November 21, 2014 -- According to a National Highway Transportation Safety Administration report issued on June 11th, 2014, the inflating system found in certain airbags produced by Takata Corporation can rupture when the airbag inflates. The force of inflation may cause the metal canister to break into metal shrapnel, and the metal shards may pierce the airbag’s fabric and potentially cause injuries to anyone within the vehicle’s cabin.
According to a Bloomberg Business Week article on Nov 10th, 2014 titled "Takata Accused in Suit of Burying Bad Air Bag Test Result", several class action lawsuits against Takata have already been filed such as (Klinger v. Takata Corp., 14-cv-8677, U.S. District Court, Central District of California), (Dunn v. Takata Corp., 14-cv-24009, U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida) and (David Takeda v Takata Corporation, 14-cv-08324, U.S. District Court, Central District of California).
The lawsuits allege that the airbags installed in millions of vehicles could potentially injure or kill people due to flying metal shrapnel. One complaint alleges that numerous injuries and several fatalities have been linked to the Takata airbag defect (David Takeda v Takata Corporation, 14-cv-08324, U.S. District Court, Central District of California).
According to an NHTSA press release Oct 22, 2014 to date the NHTSA has received notifications of the regional recalls from Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, BMW, Ford, GM, Subaru, Mitsubishi and Chrysler in numerous model years varying from 2000 to 2008.
