Tanning beds would be required to warn young people of the dangers of skin cancer and face tighter oversight under a proposal from U.S. regulators.
The Food and Drug Administration proposed that sunlamp products recommend against use by those younger than 18 years old and warn frequent users to regularly screen for cancer. The proposed order would also require sunlamp products seek FDA clearance before sale, the agency said yesterday in a statement.
