Indoor Tanning Series
New authoritative studies continue to confirm the significant link between indoor tanning and cancer. Despite these reports, teens and young adults continue to visit tanning salons in record numbers.
Surprisingly, the public remains largely silent as this public health risk progresses. The strongest voice in this debate comes from the indoor tanning industry, which continues to extol the false virtues and health benefits of indoor tanning. Where is the public outrage?
Our law firm has a keen interest in halting the availability of indoor tanning to minors and strengthening the disclosure of risks to young adults. This is an important public health issue. We are devoting a three-part series to: 1) explain the cancer risks of indoor tanning; 2) explain the results of indoor tanning; and 3) analyze the responses to indoor tanning.
We hope this series generates a response from teens that are at risk of indoor tanning and their families. It is time to engage in a meaningful conversation on how we can move forward to protect youth from the significant and real cancer risk associated with indoor tanning.
