WASHINGTON, DC \u2014<\/strong> The Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers, the trade association for the home appliance industry, has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for Colorado to stop Colorado\u2019s newly-enacted law mandating a warning label on gas stoves.<\/p>\n

AHAM\u2019s lawsuit, according to the Washington, DC-based trade association, seeks an emergency injunction to prevent the implementation of Colorado House Bill 25-1161, a law that \u201cviolates the First Amendment by singling out gas stoves, compelling retailers and manufacturers to warn consumers of alleged ‘health risks’ and ‘health impacts’ that have not been proven.”<\/p>\n

\u201cThe overwhelming majority of available health research shows there is no association\u00a0between gas stoves and adverse health outcomes, and \u2013 most critically \u2013 when evaluated collectively, fails to demonstrate\u00a0causation,\u201d AHAM said. \u201cIndeed, the vast majority of studies conclude that\u00a0the potential health risks of cooking with gas are no different than cooking with electricity.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause the alleged health risks from using gas stoves are not supported by scientific consensus, the law violates the First Amendment\u2019s protection against compelled speech.\u201d<\/p>\n

Absent the injunction AHAM seeks in its lawsuit, Colorado\u2019s new law \u201cwould force retailers and manufacturers to stigmatize their own products by presenting consumers with biased and misleading information promoting only a minority scientific position,\u201d AHAM said. \u201cIf allowed to stand, Colorado\u2019s law would set a dangerous precedent for compelled speech in consumer labeling, opening the door to other product labeling requirements that are not supported by scientific consensus and sowing further consumer confusion.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to AHAM, no study has found that gas stoves cause respiratory health issues, \u201cand imposing a mandatory warning based on unsettled science misleads consumers, stigmatizes safe products, and undermines the principles of free speech and fair commerce.\u201d<\/p>\n

AHAM remains committed to providing consumers with accurate, unbiased, science-based information and education to enhance the safe and proper use of home appliances, the association added. \u201cColorado\u2019s new labeling requirement is a misguided effort to address unproven hazards. Requiring retailers and manufacturers to present inaccurate and incomplete information is likely to lead to consumer confusion, questions and unintended consequences.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
