Lawsuit Filed in Death of Man Due to Faulty Air Bag

Mr. Dordick, the lawyer for a family of a SoCal man suing air bag maker Takata said he is certain he’d be alive today had his air bag deployed properly.

According to the lawsuit and the medical examiner’s report obtained by NBC4, Devin Xu, 47, died from head injuries sustained “as a result of the deployment of an air bag,” citing a “metallic portion” that hit him in the face as it deployed.

“It’s the type of thing that air bags are designed to protect against,” said attorney Gary Dordick, who hopes Xu’s lawsuit adds to mounting pressure for a nationwide recall on vehicles with air bags made by Japan’s Takata Corporation.
