New York City Mold Injury Lawyer – Midea Air Conditioner Recall Help

If you live in New York City and developed health issues or property damage from mold caused by a recalled Midea air conditioner, you may be eligible to file a legal claim. In June 2025, Midea recalled more than 1.7 million U and U+ window AC units due to a defect that can cause water to pool inside the unit—creating the perfect environment for mold to grow and spread into the home.

In densely populated areas like NYC, where small apartments and window units are the norm, mold exposure can quickly affect not just one resident, but entire families and neighboring tenants.

Why Mold in NYC Apartments Is Especially Dangerous

New York City residents often rely on window air conditioners to regulate temperatures in apartments, condos, and public housing buildings. But if the AC unit traps water and begins growing mold, it can:

• Spread spores into small, enclosed living spaces
• Worsen asthma or trigger respiratory illness
• Increase allergic reactions in children and the elderly
• Damage walls, floors, or furniture in already tight quarters

What Brands of AC Units Are Included in the Recall?

Though manufactured by Midea, the recalled units were sold under multiple well-known brand names in NYC, including:

• Frigidaire
• Insignia
• Mr. Cool
• Comfort Aire
• Keystone
• Danby
• Sea Breeze
• Perfect Aire
• LBG Products
• Midea

These were sold between March 2020 and May 2025 through retailers like Best Buy, Costco, Home Depot, Walmart, and Amazon.

What Are the Symptoms of Mold Exposure?

New York City residents who relied on these AC units may now be suffering from:

• Coughing, sneezing, or nasal congestion
• Sinus infections or sore throat
• Headaches and fatigue
• Asthma flare-ups
• Skin irritation
• Chronic respiratory illness

If multiple people in your household developed symptoms while using the same AC, mold may be the cause.

NYC Renters and Tenants – Know Your Rights

If you live in a rented apartment or public housing in NYC, and mold formed due to a defective air conditioner, you may still be entitled to compensation. While your landlord may be responsible for replacing the unit, you may still have an individual claim against the manufacturer for health or property damages.

What Can a Mold Injury Claim Cover?

If you suffered losses due to a recalled Midea AC unit, a legal claim may help recover:

• Medical bills and prescription costs
• Time missed from work
• Mold remediation or apartment cleaning expenses
• Replacement of damaged furniture or belongings
• Pain and suffering

Even if you already received a refund from Midea, you may still be eligible to file a claim.

What’s the Time Limit to File a Mold Injury Lawsuit in New York?

New York’s statute of limitations for product liability claims is generally three years from the date you discovered the harm. However, it’s best to act quickly to protect your rights and preserve evidence.
