The FDA has issued a final order reclassifying indoor tanning beds, tanning booths and other sunlamp products and ultra violet lamps due to the skin cancer risks linked with them, according to LongIsland.com.

The emission of UV radiation from tanning beds and tanning booths pose a 59% increase risk of getting melanoma, the deadliest of skin cancers, according to the American Academy of Dermatology.

"Repeated UV exposure from sunlamp products poses a risk of skin cancer for all users - but the highest risk for skin cancer is in young persons under the age of 18 and people with a family of skin cancer," says Jeffrey Shuren, M.D., director of the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health.

Tanning beds and sun lamps will now carry new warning that they should not be used by anyone under age 18, which is part of the government action announced on Thursday, according to the Boston Herald.

The FDA has reportedly been regulating indoor tanning machines for 30 years, but the agency is now requiring even more prominent warnings about the risks of skin cancer.

Makers of sun lamps and related devices must include a label, known as a black box warning, stating that they should only be used by people over 18.

There is reportedly an increased rate of melanoma between those that range between 15 and 29.

The U.S. government was urged by medical groups to take action on tanning beds because of the rising rates of skin cancer among teenagers and 20-somethings, especially women.

Over 76,000 new cases of melanoma are expected to be diagnosed this year, and the disease is expected to cause 9,710 deaths, according to the American Cancer Society.

On top of that, an estimated 2.3 million U.S. teenagers tan indoors each year.

"The FDA has taken a very strong stand about indoor tanning and this will, I think, really encourage additional states to strengthen their indoor tanning restrictions" stated Dr. Mary Maloney of the University of Massachusetts Medical School.
