Dear Dr. Howard Cyr:
As a concerned salon owner providing the services of Indoor Tanning, I have attempted to keep current with the advances and setbacks that have been affecting my industry. There is much 'science' involved in the movement from point A to point C, and much does go beyond the grasp of the everyday salon owner. We look to certain people and groups within our industry to take on the necessary tasks of research, development and documentation of what exactly our newest technology and the newest medical advances uncovered about the benefits of moderate use of Ultra Violet Radiation.
Don Smith has provided the following suggestion for the changes now being considered. He has the support of the entire Indoor Tanning Industry and is the undisputed King of UVR. I have read the minutes of each of the past meetings that he has participated in. It certainly does appear that you NEED to take his advice seriously.
The task at hand is definitely a thankless one. I do not envy your position here. But there is a wealth of knowledge within our industry, a wealth of dedication and professionalism, a wealth of true love and value for the services we provide. Please adopt the following Warning Label as proposed by Don Smith in an effort to remain within what North America needs ~ sometimes 'global thinking' only leads to the need for clearer thinking.
* WARNING - Overexposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) may contribute to eye
and skin injury, such as sunburn, skin aging and skin cancer.
* Read instructions carefully.
* Wear the protective eyewear provided.
* Certain medications, food and cosmetics may temporarily increase your
sensitivity to UVR.
Please do not leave out the words:
"overexposure" and "may contribute" and "sunburn" and "may temporarily
increase".
Sincerely,
Sheila Mensching
