Re: FDA Reclassification Summary

Suncity, I guess in laymen's terms it would be:

-The FDA has pretty much taken it out of each state's hands regarding under 18 bans and are requiring black box warning labels and contraindications listed on all of our equipment within 1 year and will be actively enforcing it. It becomes federal now (across the board).

-They used a bunch of bogus studies stating tanning beds do cause cancer and that there is no proof that they generate Vitamin D, or even provide protection against burning. Using these so called studies they decided that our equipment be upgraded from a Class I to a class II medical/plastic surgery device which is essentially the gateway to Derms/Medical being the only ones able to provide services with tanning equipment. IMHO.
