Part of past job was to follow what the CPSC was doing, so I could keep our customers updated, and be knowledgeable myself of trends and product related issues.
I generally agreed with what they did, but this smacks of being a thinly veiled attempt to push the climate change agenda. Gas stoves have been used safely for years, and the CO is really only an issue for defective equipment or sensitive individuals. As others on this thread have noted, stoves can be ventilated as can all gas-fired equipment, removing the issue. If the CSPC wants to push a requirement that all gas ranges be vented to the outside, I wouldn't necessarily disagree.
But ban them? That's a bridge too far for something that for the vast majority of us, is not an issue.
