"Massive Honda Recall: 300K Accords and HR-Vs Affected by Seat Belt Issue"

Honda is recalling over 300,000 2023-2024 Accord and HR-V vehicles in the U.S. due to a missing piece in the front seat belt pretensioners, which could increase the risk of injury during a crash. The pretensioners may be missing the rivet that secures the quick connector and wire plate, potentially causing passengers to not be properly restrained. Honda will inspect and replace the seat belt pretensioner assemblies as necessary, and owners may be eligible for reimbursement. No injuries or deaths have been reported related to the faulty pretensioners.

Rana Plaza: A Decade Later, Has the Fashion Industry Improved?

Ten years after the Rana Plaza factory collapse in Bangladesh, which killed over 1,000 workers, the garment industry in the country is safer, but there is still much work to be done. While the Accord on Bangladesh Fire and Building Safety has made factories demonstrably safer, two million workers remain in factories untouched by the agreement. The power dynamic between western companies and the garment sector in Bangladesh remains deeply unbalanced, and workers are not free to exercise their union rights. The industry still lacks living wages, and wage stagnation and inflation have put pressure on workers and their families.

Assessing the Safety of Bangladesh's Garment Industry 10 Years After Rana Plaza.

Ten years after the Rana Plaza disaster, which killed over 1,100 people, mostly women, in Bangladesh's garment industry, the country's factories are safer due to the Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh, a legally binding commitment signed by over 200 brands, factories, and trade unions. However, the Accord only covers around half of the country's garment factories, and many small manufacturers and subcontractors still operate outside its remit. Activists are urging brands to renew the agreement and expand their commitments to cover wages, union rights, and worker welfare.
