Belinda Castles: Consumer NZ writer on the organisation calling for sun beds to be banned

Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Wednesdays

Consumer NZ says the nation's tanning salons are putting vulnerable customers at risk of permanent damage. The watchdog has accused some operators of letting under-18s and fair-skinned users to book sessions - and is calling for an overall ban. Consumer NZ writer Belinda Castles says other countries have made the move to ban sunbeds amid concern surrounding skin cancer. "We've got these voluntary regulations - and clearly voluntary is not working. So we should just ban them, there's no need for them." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
