Incident narrative
SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20190703-A85EA-2147380113. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Apple MacBook Pro, mid-2015 model, A1398 EMC 2910. Source model text: Model # A1398. Incident: I own an Apple MacBook Pro (Retina, 15 inch, Mid 2015) 2.2GHz Intel Core i7 I purchased it in July of 2015. My serial # isn't included in the recall, but I have the same issues with my laptop that are stated in the recall. At times the metal on the bottom has become so hot that it feels like it will burn my skin which happens when in use or while charging. I recently saw a recall on ConsumerReports.org and realized that this problem wasn't a normal thing for my laptop.
