ARC Airbags: Defective and Dangerous
The Hidden Dangers of ARC Airbags
Since Henry Ford first made motor vehicles accessible to the average consumer near the beginning of the twentieth century, the automotive industry has undertaken a series of initiatives—sometimes voluntarily and oftentimes kicking and screaming—to improve automobile safety. Seat belts protect drivers and passengers from harmful movement within, or ejection from, a vehicle during a crash. Anti-lock brakes prevent skidding and loss of control during hard braking. Airbags restrain movement and cushion against impacts with harder surfaces. When designed and manufactured properly, these safety innovations save lives and protect against serious injuries. Unfortunately, automotive safety devices are not always properly designed and manufactured. Sometimes the very features intended to keep us safe pose the greatest dangers of all.
