How to Document a Mold Injury Claim From a Recalled Air Conditioner

If you or a loved one experienced health problems or property damage due to mold from a recalled Midea window air conditioner, collecting the right documentation can be key to a successful legal claim. With more than 1.7 million air conditioners recalled in June 2025 because of poor drainage and mold risk, consumers across the U.S. are now seeking compensation for injuries, expenses, and losses.

Here’s a practical guide to help you document your mold injury claim if your air conditioner was affected by the Midea recall.

Why Proper Documentation Matters

Product liability cases often hinge on evidence. The more details you can gather about the product, your exposure, and your damages, the stronger your claim may be.

Whether you’re pursuing a refund, filing an insurance claim, or seeking legal action against Midea, organized documentation can be the difference between approval and denial.

Step-by-Step: How to Document Your Mold Injury Claim

🧾 1. Confirm Your Model Number and Recall Status

• Locate the model number on the front right-hand side of the air conditioner.
• Visit www.MideaUrecall.expertinquiry.com to confirm your unit is included in the recall.
• Take a photo of the label showing the model number.
• Save your original receipt, email confirmation, or credit card record showing the purchase.

📸 2. Photograph the Air Conditioner and Mold Growth

• Take clear, timestamped photos of:
  • The air conditioner in place
  • Any visible mold on or around the unit
  • Water stains or damage to walls, windows, or nearby furniture
• Photograph any mold remediation work or cleanup you’ve had to do

🩺 3. Track Health Symptoms and Medical Visits

• Write down symptoms experienced by you or family members, including dates
• Save receipts, prescriptions, and doctor visit summaries
• If you were diagnosed with a respiratory condition or infection, ask your provider to note the possible connection to mold exposure
• Keep copies of ER visits, allergy testing, or asthma treatments

🛠️ 4. Record Any Remediation or Property Damage

• Did you have to hire a professional for mold inspection or cleanup?
• Save all estimates, invoices, or service records
• If you had to replace carpeting, furniture, or drywall, document it
• Maintain a log of dates, costs, and companies involved

🕐 5. Track Time Missed From Work

• If you missed work or had to care for a sick family member, record the days missed
• Keep documentation from your employer verifying lost hours or wages

💬 6. Write a Personal Impact Statement

• Describe how this experience affected your daily life, sleep, work, and wellbeing
• Include emotional effects, especially if a child or vulnerable person became ill
• This may help support a claim for non-economic damages like pain and suffering

What Happens After You Document Everything?

Once you’ve collected all of your evidence:

• You may choose to submit a refund or repair request through Midea’s recall portal
• Or, you may consult with a personal injury attorney to file a mold exposure lawsuit for additional compensation

What You Might Be Entitled To in a Lawsuit

If your claim is successful, you may receive compensation for:

• Medical expenses (past and future)
• Lost wages or reduced earning ability
• Property damage and repair costs
• Replacement of the defective unit
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress

A refund alone may not address the long-term effects of exposure. Lawsuits may help you recover full compensation.
