The FAA said Thursday that it had notified Boeing that it was investigating whether the company failed to ensure that certain “products conformed to their approved design and were in a safe operating condition in accordance with FAA regulations.”

The investigation comes less than a week after a panel of a two-month-old Boeing 737 Max 9 exploded during an Alaska Airlines flight at 16,000 feet.
