Epoch Times by Chase Smith 3/10/2023
A class action suit filed in California alleges LG Electronics USA, Inc. sold gas range stoves in the United States without properly notifying customers of toxic emissions prior to their purchases.
The suit comes as the industry faces attacks and efficiency proposals by the Biden administration that would remove up to half the current gas range ovens on the U.S. market.
A California woman who purchased an LG gas stove from Costco in October 2022 claims in the suit that she was unaware of the “risks” associated with the product before purchasing.
“Ms. Sherzai relied on the representations on the marketing materials disclosing risks,” read the lawsuit. “The marketing materials did not disclose or warn that the product emitted harmful pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides. Thus, at the time of purchase, Plaintiff was unaware that the product emitted harmful pollutants such as nitrogen oxide.”
According to the latest court docket, LG has not yet responded to the claims in the suit.
John Taylor, senior vice president of LG Electronics USA, Inc. said in an email to The Epoch Times, “as a matter of policy, LG Electronics USA doesn’t generally comment on pending legal matters such as this.”
Claims of False Advertising and More
The California woman in the suit (pdf) alleges LG committed several crimes including violating California’s Unfair Competition Law, False Advertising Law, and Consumer Legal Remedies Act, along with breach of implied warranty, violation of state consumer protection statutes, breach of implied warranties on behalf of plaintiff and the nationwide class, fraudulent omission, and unjust enrichment.
She claims the suit on behalf of other customers who purchased qualifying LG ranges while living in the United States during the applicable time frame.

Hope I'm Grandfathered in for this $hit. Cause next they'll be coming for you for Tankless Water Heaters and your clothes dryer, which I would finally get my Trifecta.
Natural Gas, even in Tejas, ain't cheap anymore, >$70.

If that state wants to go down the shitter, hand it a plunger.

Fully agree. Manufacturers need to boycott CA totally. Let their citizens double pay via black market, or other means for their stupid political choices.

LG Just needs to get ahead of the curve. Cali will eventually ban every convivence item that makes life livable Fridges, A/C and gas heat forced air is next BTW). Pull out now and focus on selling in free states.

The Luddites in Cali strike again. Why don't all the Libs in California move in with the Amish? Then they can leave the rest of us alone.
If you want to frighten a Liberal, here is a list of words which hit them like showing a cross to Dracula.

Stacy Abrams has taken a new job at Rewiring America — a dark money environmental advocacy group pushing for the ban of gas stoves and other regulations.
The two-time failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate is joining the nonprofit as senior counsel, where she will help “launch and scale a national awareness campaign and a network of large and small communities working to help Americans go electric,” according to a press release from the organization.
“She will also guide the organization as it builds the tools and capacity to connect Americans and their communities to machines, installers, Inflation Reduction Act incentives and jobs in the clean energy transition,” the group added.
Rewiring America, which describes itself as the “leading electrification nonprofit, focused on electrifying our homes, businesses, and communities,” was founded in 2020 with the goal of broadly electrifying the country in an effort to curb climate change. The organization has also pushed for major environmental programs. ... New York Post (https://nypost.com/2023/03/14/stacey-abrams-takes-new-job-at-environmental-group-pushing-for-gas-stove-ban/)
