Dozens of House Republicans introduced legislation this week to block the Biden administration from banning gas stoves, after a consumer protection agency hinted one might be coming.
"As you know, the CPSC has broad authority under the Consumer Product Safety Act to regulate consumer products that pose an unreasonable risk of injury," Democrats wrote."We urge the Commission to protect consumers from these harmful emissions."
Among other things, Democrats suggested the CPSC consider a requirement that gas stoves be sold with range hoods, create performance standards related to gas leakage and hazardous emissions, and requiring labels that warn consumers about the risk of using gas stoves. This week, CPSC Chairman Richard Trumka Jr. told Bloomberg that a ban on gas stoves was possible, and said"any option is on the table" related to the regulation of gas stoves.
President Biden's administration would be blocked from banning gas stoves if Rep. Darrell Issa's bill becomes law."Over the past several days, there has been a lot of attention paid to gas stove emissions and to the Consumer Product Safety Commission," he said."Research indicates that emissions from gas stoves can be hazardous, and the CPSC is looking for ways to reduce related indoor air quality hazards.
