Japanese airbag maker Takata Corporation manufactured some airbags that used an ammonium nitrate-based propellant without a chemical drying agent. It was later discovered that these airbags tended to deploy explosively, especially in higher temperatures, higher humidity, and older vehicles. When the airbags deployed, metal inflator cartridges inside them sometimes ruptured, sending metal shards into the passenger cabin.

By the beginning of 2017, these defective airbags had

caused 11 deaths and 180 injuries in the United States. The federal government ordered recalls of the devices in nearly 42 million vehicles nationwide. Takata executives likely did not intend to hurt consumers and may not even have considered the ethics of their decision. Takata, however, continued to produce airbags with this defect for years. A class-action lawsuit has been filed against the company. (Takata filed for bankruptcy protection in 2017.)
