Gas stove ban: U.S. draws closer to action with a consumer agency turning up its scrutiny
The U.S. as a whole could be edging nearer to a ban on gas stoves, if the interest of a federal consumer safety agency is any indication.
He said the agency could also consider other actions, including setting standards on emissions from the appliances, or take no action at all. The impact is significant: Over one-third of U.S. households — more than 40 million homes — cook with gas. The American Gas Association, the trade group representing gas utilities, has said that what it believes is a more robust study has not found a link between childhood asthma and gas stoves.
Consumer Reports has dedicated new reviews to the potential health and safety advantages as well as the cooking performance and relative costs of electric ranges and stoves over gas options.
