The Consumer Product Safety Commission places rules and regulations on products for sale in the U.S. In rare cases, the CPSC issues a ban on dangerous products. One such product a CPSC commissioner is proposing to ban is gas stoves.
“This is a hidden hazard,” Richard Trumka Jr., an agency commissioner, told Bloomberg. “Any option is on the table. Products that can’t be made safe can be banned.”“CPSC has not proposed any regulatory action on gas stoves at this time,” she said in a statement to Scripps News. “Any regulatory action by the Commission would involve a lengthy process.
Eric Lebel, a senior scientist for PSE Health Energy, said there are two main concerns that gas stoves pose. One is that stoves can emit methane gas, which is a potent greenhouse gas. “There are other gasses that are harmful to human health and even the combustion of the gas. That is another thing that we’re getting more research on,” Lebel said.
