Here is the background: In December 2022, Rep. Don Beyer (D-VA) and a coalition of House and Senate Democrats sent a letter to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), which is an independent federal agency responsible for protecting consumers from dangerous products that could cause injury or death.
In the letter, the lawmakers claimed gas stoves exacerbate respiratory conditions and asthma in children. This claim was based on a deeply flawed study produced by a green activist organization laser-focused on undermining the natural gas industry worldwide. Based on this flimsy science, the lawmakers asked the CPSC to consider a wide range of regulatory moves that would make buying a gas stove more difficult (and likely much more expensive).
