As far as I know they all still do. When the compounds mix and expand they form a harmless gas. Baby powder is used when packing the bags so there will be a smooth deployment. In the early days of airbag tech many people thought this powder was the actual sodium azide. One silly fire cheif once went so far as to rope off the entire area of an accident scene (in the middle of a busy intersection, no less), set up a portable 'clean room' and decontamination process for the driver, passenger, police officers and emergency crew that were in contact with the car. They were forced to strip naked, hosed down with cleanser and all rushed to the hospital for exams. All the while several automotive experts were contacted and all assured the cheif that there was no cause for alarm. Talk about overkill.
That is just a little FYI I learned in an I-CAR SRS class.
