AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED AND APPARENTLY BURST CAUSING SEVERE EYE INJURY A TWELVE YEAR OLD CHILD (MY SON) WHO WAS WAERING HIS SEAT BELT. FROM THE INITIAL DIAGNOSIS OF THE AMBULANCE CREW TO HIS CHIEF CORNEA & OTHER EYE SPECIALIST - ALL OF THE DAMAGE WAS CAUSED BY THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR BAG. WE WERE STRUCK FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE BY A SPEEDING VEHICLE AT AN INTERSECTION IN SAGINAW MICHIGAN. BECAUSE OF THE INTENSIVE INJURIES TO MY SON, HIS CARE WAS TRANSFERED TO THE KELLOGG CENTER, THE REGIONAL EYE TRAUMA & CARE EXPERTS IN MICHIGAN. ACCORDING TO CHRIS SURGEONS - HE SUSTAINED THE MOST MASSIVE INJURIES (VOID OF A FATALITY) SURGEONS HAS SEEN AT THE REGIONAL CENTER. EVERY MAJOR PART OFO HIS EYE WAS DAMAGED, THE CORNEA- BURNED, THE IRIS TORN IN SEVERAL PLACES, THE LEND DISLOCATED & ERUPTED (IT HAS SINCE BEEN REPLACED), RETINA SCARRING, OCCULAR BONE FRACTURES, LOST HIS UPPER TEAR DUCT, TORN, SEPERATED EYE LID, AND SEVERAL OTHERS INJURIES INTERNAL TO THE EYE AND THE FACIAL AREA AROUND HIS LEFT EYE, THE LEFT EYE WAS THE ONLY EYE DAMAGED. MY SON IS STILL UNDERGOING SURGERIES, AND OTHER RESTORATIVE MEDICAL PROCEDURES TO RESTORE HIS VISION & HIS APEARANCE. I TRIED TO CONTACT THE HONDA CORPORATION TO NO AVAIL. I ALSO CONTACTED THE U.S. DEPT OF TRANSP SAFETY TO REPORT THE ACCIDENT SHORTLY AFTER THE ACCIDENT - I WAS SENT A FORM AND SPOKE WITH A REPRESENTATIVE. I AM FILING THIS REPORT AS AN ASSURED WAY OF HAVING THIS CASE INVESTIGATED, NOTED OR LOOKED INTO, THIS MUCH DAMAGE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN DONE TO MY CHILD. HIS PHYSICIANS AGREE TO THIS GIVEN THEIR HISTORY OF TREATING AIR BAG INJURIES. THUS, ONE COULD CONCLUDE THE AIR BAD MALFUNCTIONED. I HAVE SINCE DISCOVERED SCORES OF ARTICLES ABOUT THE DANGERS OF AIR BAGS - IT BOTHERS ME THAT THE PUBLIC IS MADE AWARE OF THIER DANGERS TO INFANTS BUT NOT AS THEY RELATE TO YOUNG CHILDREN. I SEEK SOME FOLLOW-UP T O THIS PROBLEM. THE CAR DISPLAYED A MADE IN AMERICA STICKER ON THE BACK. I DON'T THINK THAT MATTERS BUT I HAVE OWNED HOND
