§ 59.1-310.4. Warning signs
A. A tanning facility shall post a warning sign in a conspicuous location where it is readily readable by persons entering the establishment. The sign shall contain the following warning:
DANGER: ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION
Repeated exposure to ultraviolet radiation may cause chronic sun damage to the
skin characterized by wrinkling, dryness, fragility, and bruising of the
skin, and skin cancer.
Failure to use protective eyewear may result in severe burns or permanent
injury to the eyes.
Medications or cosmetics may increase your sensitivity to ultraviolet
radiation. Consult a physician or nurse practitioner before using a sunlamp if
you are using medications, have a history of skin problems, or believe you
are especially sensitive to sunlight. Pregnant women or women taking oral
contraceptives who use this product may develop discolored skin.
IF YOU DO NOT TAN IN THE SUN, YOU WILL NOT TAN FROM USE
OF AN ULTRAVIOLET SUNLAMP.

severe burns or permanent damage to the eyes.
4. Do not sunbathe before or after exposure to ultraviolet radiation from
sunlamps.
5. Medications or cosmetics may increase your sensitivity to ultraviolet
radiation. Consult a physician or nurse practitioner before using a sunlamp if
