At 14 I read warning notices though. If I headache I looked at the packet and if it said 1 tablet, I took 1 tablet. Not 1 tablet for 5 mins and then decide I have a really bad headache and have 3 more, and then complain someone should have stopped me when I was ill.

If this man was negligent and there were no signs up, then fair enough, string him up by his toes. I'm in favour of putting superfluous warning notices on everything to protect the truly dense people in this world (like the woman who sued Mickey Ds because they didn't warn her that her coffee was hot). However, if there are warning notices up and people ignore them, what can you do? If it was manned what's to stop her maxing out the limit at that salon and moving to another one straight after? Who is to blame then?

I wish the parent/daughter would come out warning people of the dangers of suntanning, rather than trying to ruin this owner's livelyhood because her daughter wilfull neglected to heed health warnings.
