Solarium's are in the news and under the spot light once again, this time resulting in legal action being taken against a number of solarium's by several Gold Coast women as reported by Australia Business in an article entitled `Lawyers sue solarium's'. It really did get my attention especially after reading the first line which I have quoted,"LAWYERS are increasingly suing solarium's after repeated scientific studies linking them to the risk of developing skin cancer and other skin conditions."This goes without saying does it not? Especially since there is now plenty of evidence to show that prolonged UV exposure increases the risk of skin melanoma by up to 98%! With this I had to ask the question. With whom exactly does the responsibility lie?
Certainly true and quite possibly some of these establishments may not be accessing their clients well enough for suitability for such treatments, whilst on the other hand users of solarium's should know better. It's all a question of choice and if one so chooses to do so out of the sheer vanity of beautiful glowing dark skin then the consequential risk factor of skin damage is high. This being the case then there is a price to pay.
Maybe I just see things far to simply who knows but suing them I believe will not eliminate the hazard by any means and makes no gains at all apart from the exception of lining the pockets of money hungry lawyers. All this is just a case of responsibility negligence and these individuals got exactly what they paid for. So if you wish to have natural healthy glowing skin simply don't use them. Period.
