The family of a Virginia woman who was killed by shrapnel from a Takata Corp. airbag is seeking to reopen a lawsuit it previously settled over her death based on allegations the company knew the device was defective.
Gurjit Rathore, 33, died in December 2009 when a mail truck hit her Honda Accord and the airbag deployed, shooting metal into her chest and neck. The lawsuit was settled for $3 million, according to court records.
