Gov. Newsom vetoes Calif. bill requiring health warning labels on gas stoves

Sept. 28 (UPI) -- Calling its provisions "highly prescriptive," Calif. Gov. Gavin Newsom has vetoed a state measure requiring consumer health warning labels to be placed on gas stoves beginning next year.

Assembly Bill 2513, approved by the California Legislature earlier this month, would have required all gas stoves sold in California to display a warning label detailing the health risks associated with pollutants emitted from gas stoves starting on Jan. 1, 2025.
