LBG Products Mold Recall Lawsuit – Legal Help for Mold Exposure From Recalled AC Units

If you or someone in your household has suffered from respiratory symptoms or mold-related property damage after using an LBG Products-branded window air conditioner, you may be eligible to file a product liability claim. In June 2025, Midea recalled over 1.7 million U and U+ window air conditioners due to a design defect that allows water to pool inside the unit, creating an environment where mold can grow and circulate into your home.

What Is the Mold Hazard With LBG Products Air Conditioners?

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a widespread recall involving Midea-manufactured air conditioners sold under multiple brand names, including LBG Products. The problem lies in the unit’s drainage design. When water fails to drain properly, it can accumulate, leading to internal mold formation. As the AC blows air, it can spread mold spores into your home, possibly affecting your health.

These units were sold between March 2020 and May 2025 through national retailers and websites such as Home Depot, Walmart, Amazon, and others.

Affected LBG Products Model in the Recall

The recall includes the following model sold under the LBG Products brand:

QB-8K CO

This model is a compact, white window-mounted air conditioner intended for home cooling. Check the front right side of your unit for the model number to determine whether yours is affected.

Health Symptoms Linked to Mold Exposure

Mold spores that are released from a contaminated air conditioner may lead to a wide range of health issues, particularly for individuals with allergies, asthma, or compromised immune systems. Reported symptoms include:

Persistent coughing or wheezing
Sneezing and nasal congestion
Throat irritation or sore throat
Headaches or fatigue
Eye irritation
Respiratory infections or bronchitis

According to the recall, there were 152 reports of mold growth and at least 17 consumers experienced health issues linked to exposure from the recalled units.

What to Do If You Own a Recalled LBG Products AC Unit

Stop using the unit immediately.
Locate the model number on the front right side of your air conditioner.
Visit www.MideaUrecall.expertinquiry.com to confirm if your unit qualifies for a refund or repair.
Choose a remedy: Midea may offer a prorated refund or a repair kit with a new drain plug.
Photograph any visible mold and document affected areas.
Seek medical attention for symptoms that could be linked to mold exposure.
Contact our law firm to determine if you can pursue a claim for damages.

What Compensation Could You Be Entitled To?

If a defective LBG Products air conditioner led to injury or loss, you may be entitled to recover:

Medical costs for treatment and care
Lost income from missed work
Property damage or mold remediation expenses
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Replacement cost for the faulty unit

Refunds or repairs through Midea may cover the product defect but not the broader impact of mold-related illnesses or home damage. That’s where legal action may come into play.

Who Is Responsible for the Defective LBG Products Unit?

Although the brand is LBG Products, the recalled units were:

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

Under U.S. product liability law, both the manufacturer and importer can be held accountable for dangerous or defective consumer products that cause harm.
