> As the article makes clear, there is not evidence that they are unsafe. I admit I did not read past the third or so paragraph, when it was clear the author didn’t understand PR vs OR, despite their lengthy explanation. I have little hope that the rest of the article becomes magically well informed. > Cities have already begun outlawing gas appliances in new construction. People who are concerned about the CPSC rumblings are justifiably worried. Okay but even you have to be able to see that outlawing in new construction is not the same as the feds confiscating your existing stove right? No one busted down my door to take by Bucky balls when they got banned. Lawn darts? Lead children’s toys? Because the CPSC only regulates what is sold in the US. Not what people own. This is a complete overreaction. The notion they’d ban new sales is a little more plausible, but still not realistic when there’s a thousand things we can do to make these things safe. There’s currently no emissions standards for gas stoves. Builders are allowed to build poor or no ventilation in new homes. There’s no warning labels. If we can make magnetic desk toys safer for sale after a direct DEATH and numerous injuries, we can definitely require ventilation of a stove.
