Effingham, IL-(Effingham Radio)- Over one million air conditioners are being recalled due to the possibility of mold exposure. A notice from the Consumer Product Safety Commission says water can pool in Midea’s [[ mai-dee-uh ]] U and U+ window air conditioners and fail to drain quickly enough, which can lead to mold growth.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that can result in health problems including respiratory issues like cough, stuffy nose, sore throat, wheezing or itchy eyes, and skin issues like rash. People with asthma or a mold allergy may have a more severe reaction, including fever or shortness of breath. Midea says it has received at least 152 reports of mold in air conditioners, including 17 reports of people experiencing respiratory symptoms or allergic reactions.
