The FBI Says Illegal Chinese Airbags Have Been Killing Even More Americans Than Initially Thought

The FBI and NHTSA are investigating illegally imported Chinese airbags linked to eight incidents in the US since 2017, resulting in six fatalities and two severe injuries. The airbags, manufactured by Jilin Province Deiannua Automobile Safety System Company, were found to malfunction, such as failing to deploy or expelling metal shrapnel. The NHTSA estimates that fewer than 10,000 vehicles may be affected, but the exact number is unknown.
