Sea Breeze Mold Recall Lawsuit – Legal Help for Mold Exposure Injuries

If you purchased a Sea Breeze-branded window air conditioner and experienced mold exposure, respiratory illness, or property damage, you may qualify for financial compensation. In June 2025, Midea issued a national recall of over 1.7 million U and U+ window AC units—including Sea Breeze models—due to a defect that allows water to collect inside the unit. This standing water can lead to mold growth, putting your health and your home at risk.

Why Are Sea Breeze Air Conditioners Being Recalled?

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall after determining that Midea-manufactured AC units—including those branded as Sea Breeze—can accumulate water due to poor drainage design. That trapped water can lead to internal mold growth, which may be blown back into your home. Inhaling airborne mold spores can cause health problems, particularly for vulnerable populations such as children, the elderly, and people with asthma or immune system issues.

These Sea Breeze units were sold from March 2020 through May 2025 at major retailers and online platforms.

Affected Sea Breeze Model Numbers

The specific Sea Breeze models listed in the recall is:

  • MWAUQB-12CRFN8-BCN10
  • WAU310YREX
  • WAU312YREX
  • WAU38YREX

This unit, like others in the recall, is a white window-mounted air conditioner designed to cool spaces with 12,000 BTUs of power. Check the label on the front right side of the unit to verify the model number.

If mold forms in your AC unit and is circulated into your home, you may experience symptoms such as:

  • Persistent coughing or wheezing
  • Sore throat or hoarseness
  • Sinus congestion
  • Headaches and fatigue
  • Itchy eyes or skin
  • Aggravated asthma symptoms
  • Respiratory infections or bronchitis

According to the CPSC, there have been at least 152 reports of mold forming in these recalled air conditioners and 17 confirmed cases of people developing related symptoms.

What Should You Do If You Own a Recalled Sea Breeze AC?

  1. Stop using the air conditioner immediately.
  2. Locate your model number and compare it to the recalled list.
  3. Visit www.MideaUrecall.expertinquiry.com to check eligibility and register for a refund or repair.
  4. Take photographs of visible mold or affected areas in your home.
  5. See a medical provider if you or a loved one has experienced symptoms.
  6. Consult a product liability attorney to see if you can file a legal claim.

What Compensation Might You Be Entitled To?

If a defective Sea Breeze AC unit caused health issues or property damage, you may be able to recover compensation for:

  • Medical bills and prescription costs
  • Lost income from missed work
  • Mold cleanup and property remediation
  • Emotional distress and loss of enjoyment of life
  • Replacement of the recalled air conditioner

While Midea offers repair kits and refunds, these do not address long-term health complications or broader financial impacts. A legal claim may help you recover full and fair compensation.

Who Is Responsible for the Defective Sea Breeze Units?

Although the unit may say Sea Breeze on the front, it was:

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

Under U.S. product liability laws, both the manufacturer and importer can be held legally accountable for harm caused by their defective products.
