Exploding Airbags

Sadly and disturbingly, once again a manufacturer of a product that is intended to help keep us safe and secure covers up a dangerous product.  This time it is airbags.  But frankly, it does not matter if its gas tanks that explode, vehicles that roll-over, garage doors that do not have a simple recoil that crush infants, pharmaceuticals without proper safety warnings, or hauntingly numerous other examples.  Until Congress enacts and governments enforce laws that hold people (even though a former presidential candidate did correctly state that a corporation is a person from a legal stand-point it does not suffer the consequences of punishment) accountable theme of profits over death and injury will recur yet again.  The irony is that most of these injuries and deaths are preventable.
