AC and Heat Pump Units Recall Class Action Lawsuit
Daikin Comfort Technologies recently issued a recall for over 12,000 AC and heat pump systems sold under the Amana, Daikin, and Goodman brand names. These units have serial plates that may indicate incorrect electrical ratings. If incorrect wiring is used as a result, it can cause a fire and associated injuries to the people inside the property.
Click here to see if your HVAC unit is included in the recall. If so, contact Daikin Comfort Technologies immediately and do not attempt to open the outside electrical panel on the unit. The manufacturer will arrange for a free inspection and repair service to ensure that the system is properly wired.
While Daikin is doing the right thing by recalling the units, this is not an issue that should have occurred in the first place. People can end up with catastrophic injuries and lose their homes if there is a fire from a defective AC and heat pump unit. As an accident victim of a recalled product, you have the right to seek justice in the form of monetary compensation. Our defective product injury attorneys are here to assist you 24/7, so contact us at your earliest convenience.

Below are some tips on what you should do if you or loved ones were injured or left with property damage due to a fire caused by a recalled Amana, Daikin, and Goodman HVAC system. Taking these steps will help preserve evidence and ensure that you have the foundation for a product liability claim:
- If at all possible, take photos of the damage caused by the fire, including any injuries to yourself, your family, guests, etc.
- If you have serious injuries, go to the ER right away or call 911 for an ambulance.
- Even if your injuries seem relatively minor, get medical attention within 48 hours to prevent any long-term complications. You must also have proof of bodily harm caused by the accident, which is another reason to see a doctor right away.
- Starting with your medical records, keep a collection of any evidence showing how you suffered because of the accident (proof of lost time at your job, estimates of property lost in the fire, witness statements, etc.).
- Notify the manufacturer of the incident, making sure to say no to anything they offer (refund, repair etc.) until you have spoken to an attorney.
- Give us a call to speak with a product recall lawyer, who can help you determine the best course of action.
