Tanning Bed Injuries

Everyone knows the risks that come with prolonged exposure to the sun. For instance, sunburn and skin cancer are very real threats, and most people take responsible precautions when they are out in the sun. Some people, however, deliberately seek out tanning salons, often thinking that it is a safer way to develop a tan. Unfortunately, tanning beds have the same skin cancer risks as sun exposure, and there are other factors such as mechanical defects or salon employee negligence that can leave you with other injuries.

Problems such as defective tanning bed timers or improper sterilization of the beds can leave you suffering from injuries after visiting a tanning salon. If you or someone you love has suffered because of a negligent tanning salon owner, contact Levinson Axelrod, P.A., at 800-346-5529. Our New Jersey premises liability lawyers can help you get you the compensation you deserve.

Injuries from Tanning Beds

What we call sunburn is caused by excessive exposure to the radiation of the sun. This can occur in a tanning bed as well due to faulty timers or overly powerful bulbs. Additionally, if the tanning bed is improperly ventilated, it can result in heat stroke. Another frightening injury due to a tanning bed defect is damage to the eyes due to unsafe, broken, or defective UV goggles.

Lastly, besides mechanical defects that can injure tanning salon visitors, there are also dangers that can arise due to improper management of the salon. Tanning salon employees are responsible for thoroughly sterilizing the beds so that clients do not develop infections on their skin such as staph infections.
