4. 20. 2010 sat . 930pm dry clear roads 40mph night. Front end hit a residential parked car. Air bags deployed at wheel and knee. It was 75 degrees I had on shorts /sandals. I called 911 emts arrived I was crying with complaints of fire feeling in my legs from the airbag and I went to er complained of fire feeling. Ended up with fractured right pinky area from steering wheel air bag deployment for some reason; I left hospital still with burning feeling in left leg. In er two hours, took xrays found nothing else wrong just severe contusion to both legs. No cuts. Legs were black, red purple from toes to thighs. By time l got home 4 hours from time of mva occurrence. I rested. By Monday I had water like blisters appear on left calf . I popped one as there were a few and another blister grew deeper from that layer. Eventually large area approximately 10 in long by 6 inches wide was filled with blisters I gauze wrapped. It. Saw doctor wed. Took off gauze from blistered area we were shocked all surface skin & few layers deep gone! eaten away like acid. I am sure 100% airbag powder. Powder soaked in at implosion and ate its way out! I never knew powder in "air" bags. At er no one told me to cleanse legs. Said rest keep legs up.

Went to wound care doc & skin continued distingrate April 20 2010 emergency surgery remove necrotic area. Not healing . Graft July 2010 not healing . Aug 31 took last bandage off . Huge ugly scar, chunk of calf missing/deformity now. Air bag powder like caustic acid. Many people say they had blisters too. Lawyers too said same.

Put visor caution! I want class suit action against air bag manufacturers. I am ruined. I loved my green Camry Hybrid!.
