New Jersey Mold Injury Lawyer – Midea Air Conditioner Recall Lawsuit Help

If you live in New Jersey and developed health issues, mold injury or suffered property damage due to mold from a recalled Midea air conditioner, you may have a right to seek compensation. In June 2025, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recalled more than 1.7 million U and U+ window AC units because of a drainage defect that may cause dangerous mold exposure.

New Jersey residents who purchased these units from stores like Home Depot, Best Buy, Costco, or Amazon may qualify for more than just a refund—you may be entitled to a legal claim for your losses.

Why Were Midea Air Conditioners Recalled?

The recalled units, manufactured by GD Midea Air-Conditioning Equipment Co., Ltd., have a design defect that allows water to collect inside the unit without draining properly. This standing water can lead to mold formation, which may then be blown into the air as the unit runs.

Mold exposure has already led to at least 17 reported illnesses and over 150 complaints nationwide.

What Are the Health Risks of Mold Exposure in New Jersey Homes?

With hot summers and coastal humidity, New Jersey residents often rely heavily on window air conditioners. Mold exposure from these units can cause:

• Persistent coughing or wheezing
• Sinus and respiratory infections
• Allergic reactions or skin irritation
• Asthma complications
• Fatigue and headaches

Children, seniors, and those with pre-existing respiratory issues are especially vulnerable.

What Brands Were Recalled in New Jersey?

Midea manufactured these units and distributed them under various brand names:

• Midea
• Frigidaire
• Insignia
• Mr. Cool
• Danby
• Comfort Aire
• Keystone
• Sea Breeze
• Perfect Aire
• LBG Products

Units were sold between March 2020 and May 2025 and were commonly purchased from Amazon, Costco, Walmart, Lowe’s, BJ’s Wholesale, and other retailers.

Can You File a Mold Injury Claim in New Jersey?

Yes. New Jersey allows consumers to file product liability claims against manufacturers, distributors, and sellers when defective products cause harm. If you or your family experienced illness or property damage related to mold from one of these recalled air conditioners, you may be eligible to pursue compensation.

What Damages Can You Claim?

If successful, you may be entitled to recover:

• Medical expenses
• Lost wages or time off work
• Mold remediation and home repair costs
• Pain and suffering
• Replacement of the faulty AC unit

Even if you’ve received a refund or repair kit, that does not bar you from seeking additional damages for health or property losses.

What Is the Time Limit to File in New Jersey?

New Jersey generally allows two years to file a personal injury or product liability claim. However, this period may vary depending on when you discovered the injury. To protect your rights, consult an attorney as soon as possible.
