If I'm doing the math correctly...they are settling for $400 million...that's only~$3500 per complaint...that's not much money by any means...for a product that can cause cancer.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
As both the article and settlement website say:
> The settlement does not impact or release any claims for personal injuries or medical monitoring relief, according to the administrator with the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania.
In otherwords, there can be additional penalties/lawsuits more directly related to health damages.
It seems far worse (per capita) to get in a single fender bender than it does to cover up defective airbags for decades…

Wonder if they'll ever go after alcohol and processed meat as known group 1 carcinogens (i.e. not the flimsy 'in the state of california' kind)
