Midea is recalling approximately 1.7 million U and U Plus window air conditioners in the US and 45,900 in Canada due to potential mold growth that can cause respiratory issues. The U-shaped design of the units, while innovative, can impede water drainage. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission has received reports of mold and associated health problems among consumers. Midea is offering repairs and refunds, with the latter being prorated based on purchase dates. Consumers can return their units or request free repairs through Midea's website.
The redesigned U-shaped window air conditioners launched by Midea can trap moisture, leading to mold growth that poses health risks, prompting a recall.
Reports indicate at least 152 cases of mold and associated respiratory issues linked to Midea's U-model air conditioners, triggering action from the USCPSC.
Midea is facilitating repairs and refunds for the recalled units, with options for proration based on purchase dates, ensuring consumer safety remains a priority.
The USCPSC advises that impacted consumers should either return the unit for a prorated refund or opt for a free repair to mitigate health risks.
