| Solariums being Sued!!!! |
| |
Well further to my blog yesterday, the big news to hit the wires about an hour ago, is that 4 women appear to be suing 4 Solarium operators here on the Gold Coast.
It appears from the news wires, that left with unsightly marks after using high output solariums. The News reports the women are aged between 19 & 20.
It appears that 2 of the Operators have already closed down, and one has settled out of court. Interestingly our Premier Anna Bligh last october released a discussion paper regarding Solariums as she feels regulation is needed, especially after the horrific death of Anti Solarium campaigner Clare Oliver. This paper apparently goes before cabinet this month.
Apparently Victoria is set to ban the use of Solariums to anyone under 16 from next month.
So, does this sound like the death knell of Solariums, sadly I don't think so, but hopefully the message will get out there. But like I said yesterday there are very good alternatives if you just have to have a Tan.
So be careful and remember.....Block the Sun, Not the Fun!!!!!
