New York Mold Injury Lawyer – Help for Victims of the Midea Air Conditioner Recall

If you live in New York and suffered from health issues or property damage caused by mold from a recalled Midea window air conditioner, you may be entitled to compensation. In June 2025, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a recall of more than 1.7 million Midea U and U+ window air conditioners due to a drainage defect that can lead to mold growth and airborne exposure.

In high-density areas like New York City, mold from defective AC units can quickly spread through apartments, condos, and public housing—posing serious health risks to residents.

What Is the Midea Air Conditioner Recall?

Certain Midea-manufactured U and U+ window air conditioners were recalled for a serious defect: pooled water inside the unit may not drain correctly, allowing mold to form and circulate through the air. This hidden danger has already been linked to respiratory illness in multiple reported cases.

Mold Exposure Symptoms in New York Residents

Mold exposure caused by faulty AC units can be especially concerning in New York, where many residents live in close quarters and rely on air conditioning in small, enclosed spaces.

Common symptoms include:

• Coughing, wheezing, and sneezing
• Nasal congestion or sinus infections
• Asthma attacks
• Sore throat or respiratory irritation
• Headaches and fatigue

Children, seniors, and immunocompromised individuals are particularly vulnerable.

Affected Brands Sold in New York

Recalled Midea units were sold under multiple brand names across New York state, including:

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

These were widely available at Home Depot, Best Buy, Costco, Walmart, and Amazon between March 2020 and May 2025.

Can You File a Mold Injury Claim in New York?

Yes. Under New York product liability law, victims of defective products may file a claim for compensation against the manufacturer and other responsible parties. If you or your family:

• Became sick from mold
• Paid out-of-pocket for medical care or home remediation
• Missed work due to illness

…you may be able to recover money for your damages.

What Compensation Can You Pursue?

A mold-related legal claim may include:

• Medical expenses (current and future)
• Lost wages or job impact
• Property damage and mold remediation
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress

Even if you accepted a refund or repair kit from Midea, you may still have a valid claim.

What Is the Statute of Limitations in New York?

In most cases, New York allows three years from the date of discovery of harm to file a product liability claim. However, you should act quickly to preserve evidence and build a strong case.
