DENVER — The debate over the gas stove inside your home is headed to court.

Lawmakers passed a new Colorado law requiring safety labels on new gas stoves being sold. The law would require labels in both English and Spanish. Advocates say this would help people understand the impact of gas stoves on the air quality inside their homes.

On the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) website, the agency shared:

“There is evidence that particulate matter (PM), nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, benzene, formaldehyde, and methane can be released into indoor air from gas stoves.1"
"According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, indoor air pollutants can build up to levels that may affect people’s health if the space is not properly ventilated.2”

If a company doesn't comply with the safety label requirement, they could face a $20,000 penalty for deceptive trade practices, according to the new law.

Two days after CDPHE posted about the gas stoves, the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) filed an emergency injunction. It was filed the same day the law was supposed to go into effect.
