After industry backlash and bipartisan condemnation, the safety commission chair said the agency is not looking to ban gas stoves.
After industry backlash and bipartisan condemnation, Consumer Product Safety Commission Chair Alexander Hoehn-Saric said on Wednesday his agency is not looking to ban gas stoves.
This spring, the CPSC is expected to solicit public comment for information on how to make the appliances safer. Gas stoves are estimated to be installed in at least 40 million U.S. residences. House Energy and Commerce Chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Washington, said it was the latest “in a long line of power grabs.”
“Americans should have the ability to choose the most affordable and most available way to cook food in their own home,” Huizenga said in a statement accompanying the draft bill. “It is absolutely ridiculous how out of control and out of touch the nanny state in Washington has become.” A study led by the environmental think tank RMI that was published last month in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health found that gas stoves are responsible for 12.7 percent of childhood asthma cases nationwide, a similar risk to exposure to secondhand smoke.
“Attempts to generate consumer fears with baseless allegations to justify the banning of natural gas is a misguided agenda that will not improve the environment or the health of consumers and would saddle vulnerable populations with significant costs,” the AGA said in a statement.
