Mr. Cool Air Conditioner Mold Recall Lawsuit – Legal Help for Mold Exposure Victims

If you or a loved one used a Mr. Cool-branded window air conditioner and developed symptoms related to mold exposure, you may be entitled to compensation. In June 2025, a nationwide recall was issued for select Mr. Cool U and U+ window air conditioners due to a serious defect that may lead to internal mold growth. These units, manufactured by Midea, can accumulate standing water that fails to drain properly, creating a perfect environment for mold to grow—and potentially spread dangerous spores into your home.

Why Were Mr. Cool Air Conditioners Recalled?

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a massive recall involving over 1.7 million U and U+ window air conditioners. These units, including certain models branded under Mr. Cool, may allow water to pool inside, leading to dangerous mold growth. Mold spores can then be circulated throughout the home, posing respiratory and health risks.

This recall involves models sold between March 2020 and May 2025 at major retailers like Best Buy, Costco, Home Depot, Walmart, Amazon, and other online and physical stores. These air conditioners were manufactured by GD Midea Air-Conditioning Equipment Co., Ltd. and imported by Midea America Corp.

Which Mr. Cool AC Models Are Part of the Mold Recall?

The following Mr. Cool models are affected:

MWUC08T115
MWUC10T115
MWUC12T115

If you own one of these models, it may be subject to the mold hazard recall. The model number can be found on the front right side of the unit.

Mold Health Risks From a Defective AC Unit

Mold exposure can result in both short-term and long-term health consequences. When a window AC unit develops internal mold due to standing water and circulates that mold into the air, users may suffer from:

Persistent coughing
Sneezing or wheezing
Runny nose and congestion
Asthma attacks
Sore throat
Headaches
Skin irritation or rashes
Chronic respiratory infections

Those with allergies, asthma, or compromised immune systems are especially vulnerable. Children and elderly individuals may also experience heightened symptoms.

What to Do If You Own a Recalled Mr. Cool Air Conditioner

Stop using the unit immediately.
Check the model number to confirm if it’s part of the recall.
Visit www.MideaUrecall.expertinquiry.com to register for a refund or free repair.
Photograph any mold you’ve found in or around the unit.
Seek medical attention if you or anyone in your home is showing symptoms.
Document your injuries and expenses, such as lost wages or medical bills.
Reach out to a product liability attorney for help pursuing a claim.

Compensation You May Be Entitled To

If a recalled Mr. Cool air conditioner caused you or a loved one to become sick or suffer property damage, you may be eligible to recover compensation for:

Medical expenses (doctor visits, medication, hospital bills)
Lost income due to illness
Mold remediation or property damage
Replacement cost of the AC unit
Pain and suffering
Out-of-pocket costs related to the exposure

Some victims may qualify for a full refund, while others may receive a prorated refund based on the purchase or manufacture date. Those choosing repair will receive a kit that includes a new drain plug and installation instructions or a technician visit, depending on the model.
