A coalition of 11 Democrat attorneys general asked federal regulators to crack down on natural gas-powered stoves, citing health risks.
“In sum, the presence of gas stoves in households, even when not in use, can lead to indoor air pollution levels that pose a severe health risk, especially for particularly susceptible consumers, such as children, and for households in underserved communities,” the letterThe Democrat attorneys general urged the CPSC to “implement uniform mandatory standards for gas stove ventilation.”
“In addition, the states urge the CPSC to increase consumer awareness of the harms posed by gas stoves through more informative warning labels and public education,” they added. They claimed consumers are “inadequately informed” about the hazards of gas stoves due to getting their health and safety information from “the internet, social media, and other non-authoritative sources.”Over the past several decades, a significant amount of evidence has accumulated raising concerns about the pollutants from gas stoves found in U.S households.
The letter comes as Democrats nationwide have made gas stoves the latest target of their radical climate agenda.a natural gas stove ban is a “real possibility.” However, after backlash from conservatives, the CPSC backtracked Commissioner Richard Trumka Jr.’s comments and said they are not going to ban gas stoves.
