Unbeknownst to Destiny Byassee, a counterfeit airbag exploded in her face during a car crash, causing her death. This incident is part of a concerning trend as at least five people have been killed or injured by counterfeit airbags in the past year, with experts warning that many cases go unreported. Car companies and law enforcement are cracking down on the issue, while federal regulators are considering a recall of 45 million vehicles for potentially dangerous airbag inflators. Counterfeiters are becoming more sophisticated in evading detection, posing a serious risk to drivers and repair shops.
