Down the shore: New Jersey lawmakers seek to undo sunscreen prohibition for kids
Fox News
New Jersey lawmakers are seeking to protect children from skin cancer risks by removing restrictions on sunscreen in schools, as the state is known for its sunny beaches and outdoor activities.
Munoz is a former nurse, who said visiting the Jersey Shore isn’t the only place people are susceptible to the repercussions of sun exposure. Charles Creitz is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
"Children need protection during the entire day, including recess, sports, and outside activities. Sunscreen, along with protective clothing and shade, are the most effective ways to protect children from the risk of getting skin cancer," she said. He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
"However, it is not readily accessible at schools without a doctor’s note because the [FDA] classifies it as an over-the-counter drug." Charles covers media, politics and culture for Fox News Digital.
