Residents are required to stop using the energy-gathering rings immediately.

On January 29, 2022, a user was poisoned on the 1st floor of No. 90-1 Yanhe Street, Huanggu District, Shenyang, Liaoning Province. After on-site investigation, it was found that the household used a gas energy gathering ring, which resulted in insufficient combustion of the gas and caused carbon monoxide poisoning.

In August 2021, within one month, three poisoning accidents occurred in Dalian, Liaoning, all due to the illegal and long-term use of gas energy-saving covers.

Online sales business is booming, but product quality is worrying

The reporter searched on many domestic e-commerce platforms and found that there are currently many stores selling energy-containing rings through the Internet.

For example, if you search for the keyword "gas stove windproof cover energy-saving ring" on a well-known domestic e-commerce platform, the platform shows a total of more than 5,000 products, with the most expensive ones costing about 200 yuan, and the cheapest ones only cost 3 to 4 yuan. Sales data show that sales in many stores have exceeded 100,000 pieces. What is the quality of

's products?

When reporters asked merchants about product quality and certification, they were all told that "product quality inspection reports cannot be provided."

The reporter purchased an energy-gathering ring from the Internet.

The reporter placed an order for an energy-gathering ring priced at 13.9 yuan. The "Precautions" on the product manual only mention "It is strictly prohibited to use it directly on the glass cooktop". Not only does it not mention the danger of carbon monoxide poisoning caused by insufficient combustion of gas, it instead claims that "This product can fully burn the gas and reduce toxic gases." Carbon monoxide emissions range from 50% to 80%."

According to Tianyancha, the manufacturer is located in Yongkang City, Zhejiang Province and is registered as an individual industrial and commercial household. A query on the product certificate information on the official website of the National Standardization Administration found that not only was the product not registered, but it was suspected of misappropriating information from other companies. .

It is recommended that users do not

install energy-concentrating rings on original gas stoves without authorization

Article 28 of the "Urban Gas Management Regulations" promulgated by the State Council stipulates that gas users are not allowed to install, modify or dismantle indoor gas facilities and gas metering devices without authorization . The "Gas Engineering Project Specifications" (GB 55009-2021) requires that household users should not install devices or accessories other than factory products on burning appliances without permission that may affect the performance of the burning appliance.

The relevant person in charge of the Certification and Supervision Department of the State Administration for Market Regulation said that the energy-concentrating ring does not fall within the scope of compulsory product certification. According to expert feedback, the energy-gathering ring may affect the air flow around the flame of the gas stove burner, adversely affecting normal combustion conditions, thereby causing problems such as excessive carbon monoxide. It is recommended that users do not install energy-gathering rings on original gas stoves without authorization.
