Which Air Conditioner Brands Are Affected by the 2025 Mold Recall?

Jason Turchin, Esq.

In June 2025, a massive product recall sent shockwaves through households across the U.S. and Canada: The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled over 1.7 million units due to a mold hazard that could cause serious health risks. But what many consumers don’t realize is that these defective units weren’t just sold under one name—manufacturers and retailers marketed them under multiple well-known air conditioner brands.

So if you bought an AC unit between 2020 and 2025, you might be wondering: Is your brand affected by the Midea air conditioner mold recall? Here’s everything you need to know.


Why Were These Air Conditioners Recalled?

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) found that the recalled air conditioners have a design flaw that causes water to pool inside the unit. This water fails to drain properly, creating an ideal environment for mold to grow. The air conditioner can blow mold spores into the air and circulate them throughout the home.

The manufacturer, GD Midea Air-Conditioning Equipment Co. Ltd., along with Midea America Corp., has received at least 152 reports of mold issues and 17 reports of health problems, including coughing, respiratory infections, allergic reactions, and sore throats.
