A Beijing woman is suing BYD, the car company owned by China's richest man, because the airbags on her car failed to activate during a collision.
Huo Yanhong told Beijing Second Intermediate People's Court that she bought a 40,000 yuan ($5,870) from Beijing Wanda Automobile Service Company because it was advertised as having a "5 star" safety system.
However, when a friend who had borrowed the vehicle was involved in a serious rear-end collision the next month, the air bags on the car failed to activate.
