Xiaobian’s recent investigation in the gas stove market found that some of the protection devices were not extinguished, and some of the logos were unclear and classified.
Do not let the gas stove into a home time bomb
Gas stoves are a necessity for many consumers' home life, and three meals a day are inseparable. However, in recent years, safety accidents caused by gas cookers have occurred from time to time. As a common tool for daily necessities, why has it become a "time bomb" that endangers consumer safety? Two days ago, the reporter investigated and found that the current gas stoves on the market have large price gaps and different types, in some small In the store, there are problems such as no flameout protection device, disordered classification, and insufficient labeling.
Case
"Spitfire" gas stoves devour consumers
On the evening of July 13 last year, Ms. Nie stood in the kitchen to prepare for cooking. After igniting the household gas stove for 2 minutes, a fireball was ejected from the gas stove, causing Ms. Nie’s 64% third-degree burn with inhalation injury and Low blood volume shock.
This is the "gas stove fire and wounding case" in the "Top Ten Cases of Hunan Consumer Rights Protection in 2016" announced by the Hunan Provincial Administration of Industry and Commerce during the "3.15" period this year. The investigation found that the unqualified quality of the gas cooker was the main cause of the accident. After mediation, the factory, wholesalers, and retailers will compensate consumers 560,000 yuan at a time.
Coincidentally, in recent years, security incidents due to gas stoves have often been reported. Ms. Xiong of Suzhou, Jiangsu, is preparing to cook at home. After she opens the gas valve, the gas stove is still not on fire. Just as Ms. Xiong tried to twist the ignition switch again, gas detonation occurred. Ms. Xiong was rushed to the hospital and her skin burned to 60%.
survey
Cheap gas stoves generally do not have flameout protection
In order to understand the situation of gas stoves on the market, the reporter specially came to a large wholesale market in Yuhua District to investigate and found that there are not many merchants selling gas stoves, the prices are uneven, and some prices are relatively high, selling for more than 3,000 yuan. Taiwan, and the price is as low as seven or eight hundred yuan, some simple gas stoves or even less than one hundred yuan per unit.
One of the reasons for the large price difference is the presence or absence of a flameout protection device. The flameout protection device is a safety protection device during the use of the gas cooker. When the stove fire is blown out by the wind, the soup is poured out, and the accidental flameout situation can automatically cut off the origin to prevent accidents. In a wholesale store, the reporter found that a simple gas stove with a price of 80 yuan does not have a flameout protection device. The owner said that as long as the user pays attention, it will not cause major events. "So it's cheap!"
When the reporter told him that the national mandatory standards for domestic gas cookers that began in May 2008 have clearly stipulated that automatic extinguishing protection devices must be installed on both desktop and embedded gas stoves, otherwise production and sales are prohibited. In this regard, he said: "Not very clear."
Liu Ayi, a consumer who is buying a gas stove, also said that he does not know that there is still a rule. "As long as you can fire!"
Some gas stoves are not accurate enough to be detailed
Subsequently, the reporter visited a number of shops and found that most of the gas stoves on the outer packaging were marked with three types of gas, such as liquefied petroleum gas, natural gas and artificial gas. It is difficult for consumers to accurately identify the gas stove they bought when purchasing. Which gas to use.
At present, the urban gas is divided into artificial gas, natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas. The calorific value and gas pressure of these three types of gases are different. If the product packaging label of the gas cooker is not standardized or inaccurate, it is easy for consumers to apply the gas to the stove. The types are confusing and use the wrong type of gas, which creates a safety hazard.
In addition, some gas stove markings are not accurate enough and detailed.
“The product packaging label can guide consumers to correctly purchase and use domestic gas stove products.†The staff of the Consumer Protection Department of Changsha City Administration for Industry and Commerce said that if the stoves purchased by the user do not match the type of gas matched with his home, it is easy to cause this. When the cooker is not ignited for the first time, or when it is ignited, it suddenly produces a deflagration, causing personal injury.
