IN 2009 I WAS INVOLVED IN A MAJOR CAR ACCIDENT. I HIT MY HEAD AND BECAME UNCONSCIOUS AND MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WHEN I REGAINED CONSCIOUSNESS. I WAS ADMITTED TO THE HOSPITAL I HAD A GASH ON MY FOREHEAD. WHEN I TOUCHED MY LEFT EYEBROW IT FELT LIKE I HAD PIECES OF GLASS IN THERE. BUT NOW WITH THE RECALLS OF THE AIRBAGS, I WONDERED IF IT WAS METAL FRAGMENTS, SCHRAPRAL THAT IS STILL IN MY LEFT EYEBROW. WOULD YOU PLEASE RECALL MY VEHICLE SO I COULD HAVE MY AIRBAGS REPLACED. WHEN I REGAINED CONSCIOUSNESS I SAW DIRT AND OTHER STUFF POWDER COMING OUT OF MY DRIVERS AIRBAG. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AND EMAIL ME BACK AT [XXX] THANK YOU. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
