Insignia Mold Recall Injury Lawsuit – Get Compensation for Mold Exposure

If you purchased an Insignia window air conditioner and have experienced mold-related health problems or property damage, you may qualify for compensation. Insignia, a brand owned by Best Buy, sold thousands of air conditioners that the manufacturer recalled due to a design flaw that allows water to pool inside the unit, creating an ideal environment for mold to grow. This mold can then spread throughout your home, posing serious health risks, especially for those with respiratory issues, allergies, or weakened immune systems.

At the Law Offices of Jason Turchin, we are investigating claims for individuals harmed by the Insignia air conditioner mold recall. If you or a loved one has been affected by mold exposure from an Insignia air conditioner, we can help you pursue compensation for your medical bills, property damage, lost wages, and more.

What is the Insignia Mold Recall?

On June 5, 2025, Insignia issued a nationwide recall of their U and U+ series of window air conditioners due to a design flaw that leads to mold growth. The recalled units, which were sold at Best Buy and other major retailers, have a drainage issue that causes water to pool inside the unit. This standing water can result in mold growth, which is then blown into your home through the unit’s vents.

If you purchased one of these air conditioners between March 2020 and May 2025, your unit could be affected by this recall. Mold exposure can lead to a variety of health problems, including respiratory issues, allergic reactions, and long-term illnesses, especially in children, the elderly, and people with pre-existing health conditions.

Why is the Insignia Air Conditioner Being Recalled?

The recall was issued due to a serious design flaw in the Insignia U and U+ window air conditioners. Specifically, the units fail to properly drain pooled water, which can accumulate inside the unit. This creates the perfect environment for mold to grow, which is then blown into your home, potentially causing health problems for anyone living in the affected area.

The mold exposure from these units is particularly dangerous because it can affect your indoor air quality. Mold spores released into the air can cause or exacerbate respiratory conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, and other lung diseases. It can also trigger allergic reactions such as sneezing, itchy eyes, and skin rashes.

What Health Problems Can Mold Exposure Cause?

Mold exposure, especially from defective air conditioners like the Insignia U and U+ models, can cause a wide range of health issues. Some of the most common health problems associated with mold exposure include:

1. Respiratory Issues:

• Coughing
• Sneezing
• Wheezing
• Sore Throat
• Asthma Attacks

People who are already prone to respiratory conditions, such as asthma or chronic bronchitis, may experience more severe symptoms.

2. Allergic Reactions:

• Itchy eyes
• Runny or stuffy nose
• Skin rashes
• Sinus congestion

Mold is a known allergen, and prolonged exposure can worsen allergic symptoms or lead to new sensitivities.

3. Long-Term Health Conditions:

• Chronic sinus infections
• Lung infections
• Headaches
• Fatigue

In some cases, exposure to mold may lead to long-term health issues, especially if left unaddressed.

Is Your Insignia Air Conditioner Affected by the Recall?
