About damn time! 
The top U.S. auto safety regulator on Tuesday imposed a fine that could be as high as $200 million on air-bag supplier Takata Corp and ordered it to stop making inflators that use ammonium nitrate. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration cited the chemical as a factor in explosive air-bag ruptures that caused seven deaths and nearly 100 injuries in the United States.
"We have enough suspicion about this substance to believe there is risk to the consumer," Foxx said. "And until (Takata) can prove that it’s safe, we will not see ammonium nitrate in these air bags in the future.”
