Just like some here falsely labelled gas stove bans as a conspiracy theory, they will likely say the same for this

So much obfuscation on this topic. The administration has been talking out of both sides of their mouths on this, but the reality is that "The RFI [Request for Information] ordered in October, however, is still proceeding. Indeed, the CPSC published the RFI on March 7, and the agency requires that

The "studies" of harm are based on "junk science" and observational studies. Peter Attia, MD has a reasoned, non-partisan piece on this. Links below, which are from purportedly medical, legal and scientific sources, not the hyperpolitical usual sources.
Hope that reasonable minds prevail here, and there is not a lot of hysteria and hand-waving from both sides. Will they "follow the science?" Doubtful.
"Before panic sets in, it is important to note that the findings of the study are not new and are based on a single
meta-analysis published in 2013 on
observational studies reporting associations between gas stove use and asthma."
"The meta-analysis on which Gruenwald et al.’s study is based leaves room for doubt. It is composed of
observational studies, which, as we’ve seen so many times,
are subject to confounds. For example, the analysis included m

In other words, we must interpret these conclusions with a high degree of caution."
