In a statement issued on Twitter Tuesday, the chair of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, Alexander Hoehn-Saric, said that while the Commission is researching the impact of gas stoves and working to make the appliances safer, it has no plans to ban them outright.“Research indicates that emissions from gas stoves can be hazardous, and the CPSC is looking for ways to reduce related indoor air quality hazards,” Hoehn-Saric said.Politicians from both sides of the aisle weighed in on a possible ban—with Republicans seizing the moment to paint Democrats as ruthlessly overreaching into Americans’ personal lives and to become weirdly obsessed with cooking techniques, all of a sudden.Republicans want to LEAVE YOU ALONE.”Senator Ted Cruz, meanwhile, retweeted a photo of Jill Biden cooking on a gas stovetop in 2020, with the caption “Rules for thee but not for me.”Even supposed Democrat Joe Manchin joined the pile-on.I can tell you the last thing that would ever leave my house is the gas stove that we cook on.”Trumka clarified in a tweet on Monday that a potential ban would only impact new products, not existing ones."
