Highway safety administration warns against sticking aftermarket decals on steering wheels following accident

Federal auto safety regulators are warning people not to stick decals on their steering wheels because they can be hurled at drivers if the airbags inflate in a crash.

The warning from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration comes after another driver was severely hurt by a flying emblem during a crash. The airbag inflated and sent two pieces of metal from an aftermarket decal into the driver's face and neck.

The agency said it couldn't say where or when the injury occurred.
