NHTSA complaint: 2009 HONDA FIT — AIR BAGS
A CAR RAN A RED LIGHT AND HIT THE FRONT OF THE HONDA FIT. THE AIRBAG ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DEPLOYED. THE CHEMICAL FROM THE AIRBAG CAUSED BURNS THAT BLISTERED AND PEELED AND THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT SPRAINED BOTH THUMBS. THERE SHOULD BE A WARNING THAT THE CONTENTS OF THE AIRBAGS CAN CAUSE SIGNIFICANT BURNS WHEN DEPLOYED. I HAVE SCARS ON MY LEFT WRIST AND RIGHT HAND FROM THESE CHEMICALS. THE FIRST RESPONDERS AND PARAMEDICS WERE UNAWARE THAT THESE CHEMICALS CAUSE BURNS SO THEY DID NOT DO ANYTHING TO REMOVE THE CHEMICALS OR TELL ME THAT THEY WOULD CONTINUE TO BURN AS LONG AS THEY WERE IN CONTACT WITH MY SKIN. *JS
