Fellow readers,
I have found some very horrifying yet interesting information that many of you have probably already seen on the news. It seems that the Obama administration had discovered as many as tens of thousands of cars that have had their airbags replaced in the past three years could be counterfeit. An association called the National Association of Automobile Dealers have been testing this theory with crash dummies. Although the airbags have not failed in inflating properly, it is stated that in at least one of the cases, an airbag had fired shards of metal shrapnel on impact. This has been well-known as a problem in the past but due to recent events, concerns have escalated among some government officials. They advise that you to go to this website if your car's air bag(s) has been recently replaced: http://www.Safercar.gov.
This article to me was very much worth reading because if these accidents were so troublesome that government officials advised procedures to take, it is worth spreading the word. I wouldn't want my family, friends or classmates getting hurt due to faulty air bags. You can watch the news report of this incident at the following link:
