Reply to comment by RLSellman in TIL the first confirmed victim of Takata airbags was 18y/o Parham. As she drove around a car park, she lightly bumped another vehicle making the airbag inflate, sending metal pieces at such tremendous force that one hit the teen’s neck slicing open her carotid artery. She bled to death in her seat by ahm713
They did. They went bankrupt and “Takata” no longer exist. However, in bankruptcy they were acquired by Key Safety Systems, a Chinese company, which then changed its name to Joyson.
Joyson still makes seatbelts and airbags, however they no longer use the Takata propellant that resulted in the recall.
