Mounting Fines for Takata
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has
announced it will be fining Takata Corp. $14,000 per day until the airbag manufacturer
comes into compliance with Department of Transportation orders. Takata has
failed to cooperate during the federal investigation into the company’s faulty airbags –
airbags which have made their way into makes and models from nearly all car manufacturers.
The DOT is currently requesting more resources from Congress and has asked that
maximum allowable penalties for Takata be raised to $300 million.
Fining a company for its refusal to cooperate in a defective
product investigation is rarely necessary, but the scope of this
investigation and potential liability that Takata faces has created a rather
unique situation. Regardless of the outcome of this particular battle, if you
or someone you love has sustained injury from a defective airbag, the attorneys
