If you own a 15-inch MacBook Pro, don’t plan on taking it on a flight anytime soon.  The FAA has placed a ban on certain models of the Apple MacBook Pro laptops.

The ban comes after Apple recalled the laptops in June over concerns of the batteries overheating and causing a potential fire risk.

The FAA says you will not be allowed to board with the laptops as a carry-on or place them in the cargo area.  The ban pertains to the 15-inch MacBook Pro models which were sold between September 2015 and February 2017.  Apple says it has been replacing the batteries in question at no charge.
