An internal memo has revealed that Biden s administration was in fact serious about banning gas stoves across the US, before public backlash forced them to rethink the move.
US Consumer Product Safety Commission commissioner Richard Trumka Jr. backtracked on the agency s announcement it may ban gas stoves, saying it would only ban new products.
The Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers noted on Tuesday that gas stoves are typically more affordable, arguing increased use of ventilation is a better solution than a ban.
