Biden officials explored cracking down on gas stoves earlier than previously known, emails show
Fox News
Emails obtained by Fox News Digital show that federal officials actively engaged with an environmental group last summer to discuss a legal rationale for regulating gas stoves.
"I would like to follow up on our discussion that took place on June 2, 2022," WE ACT for Environmental Justice policy manager Yuwa Vosper wrote in an August email to Trumka and other CPSC officials. "During the call, Commissioner Trumka suggested for us to evaluate the legal rationale for gas stove standards and labeling within the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA)." Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"Since our call, I have been heavily researching to make the connection and find the legal support that Commissioner Trumka was referencing within the FHSA," Vosper continued. "Therefore, I would like to meet as a follow-up to discuss and determine if I am on the correct path with my thought process for our organizational memorandum draft to further our advocacy on gas stove regulation."
