Midea is recalling around 1.7 million units of window air conditioners due to “risk of mold exposure,” the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) said in a June 5 statement.
The recalled products were manufactured by GD Midea Air-Conditioning Equipment Co., Ltd., located in China. Midea is a Chinese brand, and the products were imported by Midea America Corp., located in New Jersey. The recall applies to U and U+ air conditioners sold under the brand names Midea, Comfort Aire, Danby, Frigidaire, Insignia, Keystone, LBG Products, Mr. Cool, Perfect Aire, and Sea Breeze.
“Pooled water in the air conditioners can fail to drain quickly enough, which can lead to mold growth,” said the statement. “Mold exposure poses risks of respiratory issues or other infections to some consumers.”
“The firm is aware of at least 152 reports of mold in the air conditioners, including 17 reports of consumers experiencing symptoms such as respiratory infections, allergic reactions, coughing, sneezing, and/or sore throats from mold exposure.”
