United to restart 787 flights

FILE - In this Sunday, April 28, 2013 file photo, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner of the All Nippon Airways prepares to land after a test flight at Haneda International Airport in Tokyo. United Airlines is getting its 787s back in the air. The planes are returning after being grounded for four months by the federal government because of smoldering batteries on 787s owned by other airlines. The incidents included an emergency landing of one plane, and a fire on another. The incidents never caused any serious injuries. But the January grounding embarrassed Boeing, which makes the 787, and disrupted schedules at the eight airlines that were flying the planes. United's first 787 flight was scheduled for 11 a.m. Monday, May 20, 2013 from Houston to Chicago. (AP Photo/Shizuo Kambayashi, File)

Consumer group flags SPF ratings

Janet Woodcock, director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, speaks during a 2011 news conference about the rules for sunscreen labeling. The rules from the Food and Drug Administration ban terms like “waterproof,” which regulators consider misleading, and require that sunscreens filter out both ultraviolet A and B rays. Previously some products only blocked UVB rays, which cause most sunburn, while providing little protection against UVA rays that pose the greatest risk of skin cancer and wrinkles.

WASHINGTON — Sunbathers headed to the beach this summer will find new sunscreen labels on store shelves that are designed to make the products more effective and easier to use. But despite those long-awaited changes, many sunscreens continue to carry SPF ratings that some experts consider misleading and potentially dangerous, according to a consumer watchdog group.
