US Consumer Product Safety Commissioner Richard Trumka Jr. disclosed that gas stoves may be a “hidden hazard” in an exclusive interview with Bloomberg News, prompting the Biden administration to explore regulating its usage in American homes.
“Any option is on the table. Products that can’t be made safe can be banned,” In order to reduce indoor pollution, the EPA will “take action,” he added.

“We need to be talking about regulating gas stoves, whether it’s drastically reducing emissions or banning gas stoves entirely,” he said, adding that a ban “is a powerful tool in our toolbox and it’s a real possibility here, particularly because there seem to be readily available alternatives already in the market.”
Former White House physician and current Republican Representative Ronny Jackson tweeted in reaction to the news: “I’ll NEVER give up my gas stove. If the maniacs in the White House come for my stove, they can pry it from my cold dead hands. COME AND TAKE IT!!”
The socialist movement’s outspoken supporter Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a representative, reacted to Jackson’s post in kind.
“Did you know that ongoing exposure to NO2 from gas stoves is linked to reduced cognitive performance,” she claimed.
Jackson fired back: “If that’s the case, the FIRST place they should ban gas stoves is at the White House! Biden can’t afford to lose ANY more of his cognitive abilities – he needs all the help he can get!!”
Jackson demonstrated his claims rather than simply talking the talk. He made his argument clearly by sharing a picture of Ocasio-Cortez using a gas burner to cook.
“.@aoc says gas stoves cause ‘reduced cognitive performance’ – yet she uses a gas stove? Is this a self diagnosis? AOC, as a medical doctor, I can tell you this: what’s wrong with your head IS NOT caused by stoves. Something WAY BIGGER is causing your decreased cognitive function!” he said.
Rep. Gary Palmer tweeted in response to Trumka’s tweet to express his displeasure with the decision about gas stoves and to make their position on the matter known.
“My guiding duty is protecting consumer health and safety. Gas stoves can emit dangerous level of toxic chemicals – even when not in use – and @USCPSC will consider all approaches to regulation,” Trumka said on Twitter.
“Over 40 million American households use gas stoves. This type of power should never have been given to unelected bureaucrats and it is time for it to end,” Palmer shot back.
