Investigators say the business, Chavez Safety Airbags, was making fake airbags and re-using the parts of old ones, putting lives at risk.

Friday, October 25, 2024 12:51AMAn undercover sting led to a major fake airbag bust on Thursday in the Gulfton area of southwest Houston.

Working on a tip from the auto industry, HSI special agents say they set up an undercover operation. One agent pretended to be a buyer, and the seller allegedly admitted to having fakes. Closer inspection on Thursday verified it. A demonstration posted online by the National Transportation Safety Administration shows how dangerous a fake airbag can be. A real one can save a life. A fake one can kill.

Officers and agents confiscated used airbags, recalled airbags, fake airbags, fake airbag covers, and the molds to make them. Police also found a semi-automatic rifle and receipts for tax-free transactions in the thousands.
