Labeling Gas-Fueled Stoves

The act requires the department of public health and environment (department) to establish a page on the department's public website with credible, evidence-based information on the health impacts of gas-fueled stoves.

The act prohibits a retailer from selling, attempting to sell, or offering to sell, in a store, a new gas-fueled stove to a consumer in the state unless a yellow adhesive label on the display model for the gas-fueled stove bears the phrase "Understand the air quality implications of having an indoor gas stove." Following this phrase, the adhesive label must include a website link or a quick response (QR) code or other machine-readable code that a potential consumer may use to access the web page established by the department with information on the health impacts of gas-fueled stoves.

Before transacting an online sale of a new gas-fueled stove to an address in the state, a retailer is required to post the content of the adhesive label on the internet website where the online sale occurs.

The act specifies that a retailer that violates the requirements of the act commits a deceptive trade practice under the "Colorado Consumer Protection Act".
