Over 40,000 air conditioners are being recalled across Canada due to mold exposure

Just as the summer heat rolls in, Health Canada has issued a major recall affecting nearly 46,000 window air conditioning units sold in the country between 2020 and 2025 — and yes, many were likely sold in Quebec.

The affected ACs may pose a hidden health risk. According to the agency, the problem stems from water not draining properly inside the units, which can lead to mold growth. Breathing in mold spores can trigger symptoms like coughing, sneezing, sore throat, or allergic reactions. So far, five related cases have been reported in Canada, and more than 150 in the U.S., including 17 that led to respiratory symptoms.
