Japan's Panasonic Corporation stated on December 26 that some commercial air conditioning products had issues with falsified performance data. The company noted that the actual performance of 668 air conditioning units sold from 2012 to 2024 did not meet the indicated values. Furthermore, among the 2,305 air conditioners sold by the end of 2024, in addition to the confirmed 668 units, the remaining 1,637 units might also have similar issues. The investigation to confirm these problems is expected to continue until April 2025 at the latest.
