Takata airbags. The families of the victims call them “airbag killers”. In recent years, in fact, several fatal accidents have occurred in the Antilles, and at least one in mainland France (in the Hautes-Pyrenees, in November 2023). Without forgetting, at the same time, the cases of serious mutilations, especially of the face and arms, which have affected other motorists… Several judicial investigations are now open: in Cayenne in Guyana; in Basse-Terre and Pointe-à-Pitre in Guadeloupe; as well as in Tarbes in the Hautes Pyrenees.
Furthermore, a collective action was organized which currently has more than 2,500 members. This summer a complaint was filed against X at the court of Versailles (Yvelines). It targets crimes of endangering the lives of others, deception and deceptive commercial practices.
