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

If you or someone in your household used a Danby-branded window air conditioner and experienced health issues or property damage from mold exposure, you may be eligible to pursue compensation. In June 2025, a major recall was issued involving Danby U and U+ window AC units due to a defect that allows internal water pooling and mold formation. These air conditioners were manufactured by Midea and pose a serious risk to consumer health.

Why Were Danby AC Units Recalled?

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a recall of over 1.7 million Midea-manufactured U and U+ air conditioners sold under various brand names—including Danby—due to mold exposure hazards. Water may pool inside the unit and fail to drain properly, leading to mold growth that is then dispersed into the home environment. Mold exposure can trigger respiratory problems, allergic reactions, and chronic illnesses.

Major retailers and online platforms sold the recalled units such as Home Depot, Amazon, Walmart, Costco, and more from March 2020 through May 2025. The recall includes both U.S. and Canadian models.

Which Danby Models Are Included in the Mold Recall?

Danby models affected by the recall include:

DAC080B6IWDB-6
DAC080B7IWDB-6
DAC100B6IWDB-6

If you purchased a Danby window air conditioner during the affected time period, check the model number printed on the right front side of the unit to see if yours is included.

What Are the Symptoms of Mold Exposure?

Exposure to mold spores released by a contaminated air conditioner can cause a variety of symptoms, especially in children, seniors, and those with pre-existing respiratory conditions. Reported symptoms include:

Persistent coughing
Wheezing and shortness of breath
Sneezing and nasal congestion
Headaches or fatigue
Rashes or skin irritation
Aggravated asthma
Lung infections or bronchitis

According to the CPSC recall notice, there have already been at least 152 reports of mold in recalled units and 17 known cases of health issues related to mold exposure.

What to Do If You Own a Recalled Danby AC Unit

Stop using the air conditioner immediately.
Locate and verify your model number against the official recall list.
Visit www.MideaUrecall.expertinquiry.com to confirm eligibility for a repair or refund.
Take photos of mold growth or damage.
Seek medical care if symptoms develop.
Consult an attorney to determine whether you can file a legal claim for damages.

What Compensation Can You Pursue?

If your health or property was harmed due to a defective Danby air conditioner, you may be eligible for damages including:

Medical bills (doctor visits, medication, treatment)
Lost income from missed work
Costs of mold remediation or property repair
Pain and suffering
Replacement costs for the faulty product

Refunds and repair kits may be available directly from Midea, but legal claims can go further to recover for pain, suffering, or permanent health effects.

Who Is Legally Responsible for the Mold Hazard?

Even though your air conditioner may be branded as Danby, the actual manufacturer is:

GD Midea Air-Conditioning Equipment Co., Ltd. (China)
Midea America Corp. (U.S. importer, based in Parsippany, NJ)

These entities may be held liable under U.S. product liability laws for injuries and damages caused by a defective design.
