Keystone Air Conditioner Mold Recall Lawsuit – Legal Help for Mold Exposure Victims

Have you or a family member experienced respiratory illness, mold-related symptoms, or property damage after using a Keystone window air conditioner? In June 2025, a major product recall was issued for Keystone-branded U and U+ window AC units manufactured by Midea. These air conditioners may accumulate standing water, leading to mold growth inside the unit. The mold may then be dispersed into the home through the air system, potentially causing serious health risks.

What Is the Keystone Mold Recall?

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall on June 5, 2025. It affects over 1.7 million Midea-manufactured U and U+ air conditioners, including models sold under the Keystone brand. These units may not drain water properly, creating an environment for mold to grow inside the appliance.

Once the unit is used, it can blow mold spores into the living space, placing consumers at risk of inhalation and contamination. Mold exposure may cause or aggravate serious health conditions, especially in vulnerable individuals.

Which Keystone Models Are Included in the Recall?

The affected Keystone air conditioner models include:

• KSTAW08UA
• KSTAW10UA
• KSTAW12UA

These models range in cooling capacity from 8,000 to 12,000 BTUs and were sold at major retailers like Home Depot, Menards, Amazon, Walmart, and Costco between March 2020 and May 2025.

To identify your unit, locate the model number printed on the front right-hand side when facing the AC.

Health Risks of Mold Exposure

Mold in an air conditioning unit can be dispersed into the air and inhaled over time. This kind of exposure is especially hazardous for:

• Children
• Seniors
• People with asthma or allergies
• Individuals with weakened immune systems

Reported health effects include:

• Sore throat
• Sinus infections
• Chronic coughing or wheezing
• Fatigue and headaches
• Skin rashes or irritation
• Respiratory infections
• Asthma exacerbation

The CPSC recall report cited at least 152 complaints about mold found in the units and 17 confirmed consumer illness cases tied to mold exposure.

4. Document any symptoms or mold-related damage.
5. Seek medical attention if you or someone in your home has symptoms.

What Compensation Can You Seek?

If mold from a defective Keystone air conditioner made you sick or damaged your home, you may be able to pursue compensation for:

• Medical expenses and doctor visits
• Lost wages due to illness
• Property damage (e.g., furniture, carpeting, mold removal)
• Replacement of the faulty AC unit
• Emotional distress and pain and suffering

While Midea offers refunds and repairs, these may not cover the full scope of your damages. Legal action may help you recover more.

Who Is Responsible for the Defect?

Although the unit may have been sold under the Keystone brand, it was:

• Manufactured by GD Midea Air-Conditioning Equipment Co., Ltd. in China
• Imported by Midea America Corp. based in Parsippany, New Jersey

Both companies may be liable under U.S. product liability law for injuries or losses caused by a defective design.
