Since it is impossible to police the actual type of fuel burned in so-called outdoor “wood” furnaces, the only viable solution would be to outright ban them altogether. The product patent itself should be revoked also. There should never have been a patent issued for such a poorly-designed device. These problematic machines make Toyota’s gas-petal problem look minor by comparison. (At least they are doing something about that.)
I would suggest a letter-writing campaign to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, demanding that these unsafe, health-hazardous products be removed from the marketplace at the federal level. This is a regulatory issue, not a legislative one.
