FDA to Change Tanning Bed Regulation and Oversight

It looks as if the current lack of national tanning bed regulation and oversight will be changing. On March 25, the General and Plastic Surgery Devices Panel of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Medical Devices Advisory Committee met, and unanimously recommended that the FDA upgrade its classification of tanning devices.

The recommendation followed four hours of testimony from the public, including physician members of The Skin Cancer Foundation and skin cancer survivors.
