US Takata employees warned of airbag issues: report

Employees at crisis-hit Takata, which was fined earlier this month in the United States for providing inaccurate information on airbag safety devices, warned of evasive practices as early as 2000, the Wall Street Journal reported. The defect is responsible for the death of eight people -- seven in the United States -- and has injured hundreds. Now it appears employees in the United States had warned of company transgressions as early as 2000.
