An airbag that deploys properly is a life-saver — but if it fails to deploy due to a defect in design or assembly, or if it deploys when it should not, it can be the source of a major injury. In addition to back injuries or spinal cord injury, an airbag failure may cause any of the following possibly debilitating injuries:

• Facial injuries
• Hand, finger, nose and forearm fractures
• Skin abrasions
• Bruising
• Eye damage for people wearing glasses

Airbag injury risk for child passengers

While engineers assert that the number of lives saved by airbags far outweighs the number of fatalities, deaths caused by airbags have sparked a backlash. Children in particular are vulnerable to injury or death by airbags if they're sitting close to the passenger side when it deploys. The blast of energy from an airbag may injure a child who is sitting close to the dashboard. An average size adult who is correctly wearing a seat belt is not likely to come in contact with the airbag until it is fully inflated. For greatest protection, both the driver and front passengers should be buckled up and the seats moved back as far as practical to allow ample space for the air bag to expand.
