Todd Muller's Sunscreen Standards Bill w/ NZ Dermatology Society and Consumer NZ: April 13, 2021
Tuesday, April 13, 2021
Last week the Sunscreen (Product Safety Standard) Bill, introduced by National MP Todd Muller, passed its first reading in Parliament. The bill would require that all sunscreens sold in New Zealand meet the current standards and provide the level of SPF it says on the bottle. News and Editorial Director Jemima Huston speaks to President of the NZ Dermatological Society, Dr Louise Reiche, about the importance of skin protection and how sunscreen works to prevent skin damage and cancer. She also talks to Jon Duffy, CEO of Consumer NZ, about whether the Sunscreen (Product Safety Standard) Bill could effectively control sunscreen standards in New Zealand.
