A few days ago, user Squeezieful shared a tragic experience in the community that one of his 15-inch MacBook Pro caught fire and burned him. The user stated that the notebook was placed under the bed and was not charging. The accident happened late at night. The irritating smell and smoke from the burning shell awakened the couple. The owner burned his hands when trying to remove the computer and accidentally damaged a carpet. Fortunately, because of the timely handling, no major casualties or property losses occurred.
The owner judged from the location of the fire that the culprit battery was the most suspected. After the incident was shared on the Internet, some users were reminded that Apple had issued a 15-inch MacBook Pro battery recall plan several years ago, which involved the 2015 MBP. However, the couple followed the prompts of netizens and went to Apple’s official website to submit the serial number verification, and the information returned was that the product had already enjoyed the recall after-sales service.

According to Apple’s recall plan at the time, the batteries in a few 15-inch MacBook Pro computers launched earlier may overheat and cause fire safety hazards. The affected devices were mainly sold between September 2015 and February 2017.
