Exploding Takata Air Bag Claims Another Victim After Minor Accident

Recalls are serious business as they can mean the difference between life and death.

That’s clear once again as the Associated Press is reporting a recalled Takata air bag killed a 23-year-old driver outside of Pensacola, Florida last month.

Citing authorities, the publication says the man was driving a 2006 Ford Ranger and was involved in what “should have been a minor crash.” However, the driver’s air bag inflator exploded and spewed shrapnel which resulted in a fatality.
