Columbia Airbag Failure Lawyer

St. Louis Auto Recall Lawyer

The 1973 Oldsmobile Toronado introduced the American driving public to airbag safety restraint technology. After nearly 40 years, airbags are now standard safety features in all cars sold in America, but problems with reliability and consumer safety persist. There are a number of examples of defective airbags causing injuries to passengers. Among the prospective defects are:

  • The airbag failed to deploy (or fire) when it should have
  • The auto maker failed to equip or install the car with an airbag
  • The airbag deployed when it should not have, inadvertent deployment
  • Side airbags were not installed
