WASHINGTON, July 8 (Reuters) - The Federal Aviation

Administration said Monday it is requiring inspections of 2,600

Boeing 737 airplanes because passenger oxygen masks could

fail during an emergency.

The FAA said it was requiring the inspections of 737 MAX and

NG airplanes after multiple reports of passenger service unit

oxygen generators shifting out of position, an issue that could

result in an inability to provide supplemental oxygen to

passengers during a depressurization event. Boeing ( BA ) on June 17

issued a bulletin to airlines calling for visual inspections.
