The state officials want the commission to collect more information about potential hazards from gas stoves.
A new letter signed by District of Columbia Attorney General Brian Schwalb and Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown, among others, join a debate about restrictions on gas appliances and whether the Biden administration should crack down or if new regulation would amount to nanny-state overreach.
Once the research is done, the states “urge the CPSC to develop voluntary standards or mandatory regulations that will reduce the emissions of harmful pollutants from gas stoves that degrade indoor air quality in U.S. households,” the letter, dated Monday, said. “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.
In January, the CPSC walked back a claim made by one of its members that the Biden administration was weighing a ban on new natural gas stoves over health concerns following fierce rebuke from politicians and the energy industry.
