California Legislature Passes Bill Mandating Warning Labels on Gas Stoves

Governor Gavin Newsom has until the end of September to decide whether to sign the bill into law.

The bill requires gas stoves sold in California to display a warning label about potential health risks starting in 2025.
The label will warn that gas stoves can emit pollutants like nitrogen dioxide, benzene, and carbon monoxide, which may cause respiratory issues.
Proponents argue the labels will help consumers make informed decisions about the health risks associated with gas stoves.
Critics claim the bill is part of a broader effort to phase out gas stoves in favor of electric alternatives for environmental reasons.
Similar legislation has been proposed in New York and Illinois, but California is the first state to advance such a bill to the governor's desk.
