Tanning and Tanning Beds

Overview

Tanning, whether from the sun or indoor tanning beds, may cause skin cancer and other possible injurious health effects.  Consumers concerned about these effects should review the Consumer Information page.  Consumers who are injured while using a commercial tanning bed may report the injury to the Commonwealth’s Attorney for the jurisdiction where the violation is alleged to have occurred, to the Virginia Office of Attorney General – Consumer Products Section, or both for possible investigation.

The State Tanning Law may be viewed here: State Tanning Law.

Tanning bed operators should review the information on the Tanning Bed Operator’s page
