Federal regulators are taking a closer look at certain Boeing planes. A potential issue with seat installation has been identified. This could lead to safety problems in emergency situations.

The affected planes are part of the 737 Max fleet, with over 450 jets potentially impacted. This represents a significant portion of the nation's fleet. Further details on the proposed inspections and potential risks are available from the Federal Aviation Administration, which recently allowed Boeing to resume certifying its own planes after a period of increased oversight.
