The Securities and Exchange Commission is scrutinizing statements that Boeing made about its safety practices after a 737 MAX 9 blew a hole in the passenger cabin.

Further fallout from the January midflight mishap that dropped a door panel in a Portland suburb as regulators probe company leaders' statements to investors.

The SEC is reportedly opening an investigation into aircraft manufacturer Boeing Co. for alleged statements about safety practices, which may have misled investors.

The alphabet soup of U.S. government entities looking into Boeing just got a few more letters. Bloomberg reports that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has begun digging into statements made by the company about how it approaches safety in its manufacturing processes after a door plug blew off an Alaska Airlines-operated 737 Max 9 in January.
