A tanning salon owner could face prison after supplying dangerous sunbeds that could have electrocuted his customers.
"Obstructive" Graeme Carlton, who ran Golden Brown Sunbeds in Hartlepool. admitted six offences at Teesside Crown Court this week.
During a Hartlepool Trading Standards investigation, one of the sunbeds was found to be at risk of overheating, with an exposed live wire carrying 230 volts – nearly five times the lethal dose.
