Defective Airbags

Note: Defective Airbags typically fall under the laws governing product liability in Pennsylvania.

Airbags are lifesaving devices that protect us and our loved ones.  However, when they fail to open during a crash, send pieces of metal/plastic through the vehicle when deploying, or open randomly during normal driving, they can cost lives or change lives forever.

As recently as the fall of 2023, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) called for the possible recall of 52 million airbags they feel are defective from the vehicles of 11 different manufacturers. According to NHTSA, there have been millions of airbags recalled since the late 1990’s.  The most infamous recall was the Takata Corporation case, which involved more than 67 million faulty airbags.

Defective Airbags and Product Liability In Pennsylvania

Common problems associated with defective airbags include non-deployment in a crash, late deployment, metal/plastic injuries due to inflator ruptures, and deployment in non-crash situations.

Manufacturers can be held liable for damages resulting from defective airbags, including medical expenses, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, scarring/disfigurement, loss of consortium, and more.
