The government is considering tougher warnings for tanning beds. The Food and Drug Administration says tanning bed users are putting themselves at risk of skin cancer. However, The Indoor Tanning Association argues there's no new evidence to justify tougher regulations. The F.D.A. plans on holding a public hearing sometime before spring.
