MacBook Pro Laptops Banned From Flights Over Concerns About Battery Catching On Fire

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A popular Apple laptop may have to be left at home the next time you fly. The Federal Aviation Administration has banned the MacBook Pro due to concerns about the lithium battery catching on fire.

MacBooks that were sold between 2015 and 2017 were recalled by Apple earlier this summer for the batteries overheating.

The FAA says if Apple can fix the problem the laptops will be approved to fly again.
