According to national standards, household gas stoves should be equipped with mandatory flameout protection devices. Some people may still sell non-standard gas appliances with great hidden dangers for profit. Recently, the Food, Drug, and Environmental Investigation Brigade of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau led the Baoshan and Jiading Public Security Bureaus, together with the market supervision departments at the city and city levels, to successfully solve a case of selling counterfeit and inferior gas stoves. A total of 10 individuals involved were arrested, of which 5 were taken criminal measures.
Recently, the Shanghai police, together with the market supervision department, discovered during the investigation process that some shops in the city are illegally profiting and selling gas stoves without installed flameout protection devices to the outside world. According to the national standard "Household Gas Stoves", it is mandatory to install a flameout protection device for household gas stoves. Gas stoves without a flameout protection device can easily pose a hidden danger to the personal safety of consumers. In this regard, the police immediately launched an investigation together with the market supervision department, starting with the actual operator of the store, Zhan, and others, and tracked down the upstream supplier as suspect Shao.
