On Sept. 17, 2026, The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued a warning to consumers to immediately cease using the air conditioner.
According to the CPSC, the control board inside the motor of the recalled air conditioners can fail, posing a risk of serious injury or death from fire and burn hazards.
There are currently two reports indicating that the air conditioner’s motor ignited.
