Perfect Aire Mold Recall Lawsuit – Legal Help for Mold Exposure Victims

If you or a loved one experienced respiratory symptoms, mold-related illness, or property damage after using a Perfect Aire window air conditioner, you may have a legal claim. In June 2025, Midea issued a massive recall of U and U+ window AC units—including those branded as Perfect Aire—because of a defect that can lead to dangerous mold growth inside the unit. The mold may then be blown into your home, posing a risk to your health.

Why Were Perfect Aire AC Units Recalled?

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Midea America Corp. announced a recall of over 1.7 million air conditioners in June 2025 due to a product defect that causes water to pool inside the units. That standing water can lead to internal mold growth. Once the unit is turned on, mold spores may be circulated into the home, potentially causing respiratory illnesses and allergic reactions.

The recall includes Perfect Aire models sold at major U.S. retailers and online platforms between March 2020 and May 2025.

Affected Perfect Aire Models

The specific Perfect Aire models included in the recall are:

• 1PACU8000
• 1PACU10000
• 1PACU12000

If you own a Perfect Aire unit, check the model number on the front right side of the air conditioner. These units typically range from 8,000 to 12,000 BTUs and may have been sold at Costco, Menards, Home Depot, Walmart, Amazon, and other retailers.

Health Risks From Mold Exposure

When mold is circulated into the air, it can be inhaled, absorbed through the skin, or settle on surfaces throughout your home. Mold exposure symptoms can include:

• Chronic coughing
• Wheezing or shortness of breath
• Sinus infections
• Sore throat or hoarseness
• Headaches and fatigue
• Skin rashes or irritation
• Asthma flare-ups or bronchial infections

People with asthma, allergies, compromised immune systems, young children, and the elderly are especially at risk. The CPSC confirmed at least 152 reports of mold and 17 consumer-reported illness cases.

What Should You Do If You Own a Recalled Unit?

1. Stop using the AC unit immediately.
2. Check your model number against the official recall list.
3. Visit www.MideaUrecall.expertinquiry.com to verify your eligibility.
4. Photograph any visible mold or damage.
5. Seek medical attention if you or a family member has symptoms.
6. Document your symptoms and expenses.
7. Speak with a lawyer to understand your legal rights.

Can You File a Lawsuit for Mold Exposure?

Yes. If you suffered health problems or property damage due to a recalled Perfect Aire air conditioner, you may be entitled to compensation under U.S. product liability law. Our team can help you file a claim for:

• Medical expenses
• Lost income from time off work
• Pain and suffering
• Mold remediation and property repair
• Replacement cost of the defective unit
• Emotional distress

Refunds and repair kits may resolve part of the issue—but legal claims can help victims pursue compensation for the broader impact on their health and finances.

Who’s Legally Responsible for the Defective Units?

Perfect Aire AC units in this recall were:

• Manufactured by GD Midea Air-Conditioning Equipment Co., Ltd. (China)
• Imported by Midea America Corp. (Parsippany, NJ)

Although the unit carries the Perfect Aire label, Midea is responsible for the defective design and the harm it may have caused. Both the manufacturer and importer can be held accountable under U.S. law.
