Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas) introduced bipartisan legislation that would protect the use of gas stoves.

Cruz, who is the incoming Ranking Member of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, and Manchin, who is the Chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, introduced the Gas Stove Protection and Freedom Act. The legislation would block the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) from banning gas stoves.
