Midea issues recall on 1.7 million window ACs
6th June 2025
USA/CANADA: A recall has been issued on 1.7 million window air conditioners manufactured by Midea and sold in the US and Canada due to concerns over potential mould growth.
The recall involves U and U+ window air conditioners made by Midea and sold in the USA and Canada under brand names including Midea, Comfort Aire, Danby, Frigidaire, Insignia, Keystone, LBG Products, Mr Cool, Perfect Aire and Sea Breeze. They were sold in three sizes: 8,000, 10,000 and 12,000BTU.
It has been found that pooled water in the air conditioners can fail to drain quickly enough, which can lead to mould growth, creating risks of respiratory issues or other infections to some consumers.
The recall affects around 1.7 million units sold in the USA and a further 45,900 sold in Canada.
Consumers have been told to contact Midea immediately for a free repair or a full or prorated refund, based on the purchase date or date of manufacture.
A repair involves the installation of a new drain plug.
