Regulaciones sobre el uso de camas bronceadoras en Míchigan

Explicación Simple

Las camas bronceadoras pueden causar daños en la piel y los ojos, igual que el sol. Hay que seguir ciertas reglas y advertencias para usarlas de manera segura.

Es como cuando usas protector solar en la playa; si no lo haces, puedes quemarte. Las camas bronceadoras también tienen sus riesgos y necesitas cuidarte.

Ejemplo Práctico

María fue a una cama bronceadora por primera vez. Antes de entrar, vio un cartel que le advertía sobre los riesgos de quemaduras y problemas en la piel, como arrugas.

Texto Original del Estatuto (Inglés)

(2) The owner or operator of a tanning facility shall conspicuously display a poster in an area frequented by customers. The poster shall be printed in at least 32-point boldfaced type and in substantially the following form: 1. Follow instructions. 2. Avoid too frequent or too lengthy exposure. As with natural sunlight, exposure can cause eye and skin injury and allergic reactions. Repeated exposure may cause chronic sun damage, characterized by wrinkling, dryness, fragility, and bruising of the skin, and skin cancer. 3. Wear protective eyewear. 4. Ultraviolet radiation from sunlamps will intensify the effects of the sun. Therefore, do not sunbathe before or after exposure to ultraviolet radiation. 5. Some oral or skin medications or cosmetics may increase your sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation. Consult your physician before using a tanning device if you are using medications, have a history of skin problems, or believe you are especially sensitive to sunlight. Pregnant women or women on birth control pills who use this tanning device may develop discolored skin. 6. If you do not tan in the sun, you are unlikely to tan from use of this tanning device. 7. If you suffered an injury while using a tanning device at this tanning facility, you must report the injury to the owner or operator. 8. Any skin-related treatment involving microdermabrasion, including, but not limited to, facials, waxing, or skin peels, may cause abnormal sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation.". (3) The owner or operator or an employee of a tanning facility shall not claim or distribute printed promotional materials that claim or otherwise advertise that using a tanning device is safe, nonburning, or free from risk.
