FOX 26 Consumer Reporter Heather Sullivan explains more about the safety concerns with gas stoves.Debate ignited over gas stoves this week after the Consumer Product Safety Commission proposed banning them for safety reasons.
"I think people ought to be able to choose whether it's gas or electric at home," said Brian Stine, a gas stove user. "I prefer to cook on gas myself. So until I'm forced to go to electric, I'll stay with gas."PREVIOUSLY ON SULLIVAN'S SMART SENSE: But the heat was on after the Consumer Product Safety Commission said it would consider banning gas stoves due to health hazards.
The CPSC is now walking those comments back but says it is looking at strengthening safety standards."One is carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, which we've known about for a long time. But recent studies, including some we’ve done at Consumer Reports found nitrogen oxides are also created inside the home when you turn on a gas burner," explained Paul Hope with Consumer Reports.
