HHS/FDA RIN: 0910-AH14 Publication ID: Fall 2016 
Title: General and Plastic Surgery Devices: Sunlamp Products 
Abstract:

This rule would apply device restrictions to sunlamp products. The incidence of skin cancer, including melanoma, has been increasing, and a large number of skin cancer cases are attributable to the use of sunlamp products. The devices may cause about 400,000 cases of skin cancer per year, and 6,000 of which are melanoma. Beginning sunlamp product use at young ages, as well as frequently using sunlamp products, both increase the risk of developing skin cancers and other illnesses, and sustaining other injuries. Even infrequent use, particularly at younger ages, can significantly increase these risks. 

Sunlamp products incorporate ultraviolet (UV) lamps and include devices such as UV tanning beds and booths. People who use sunlamp products are at increased risk of developing skin cancer and other illnesses, and sustaining injuries.
