Correction Verification Corrected on Site Compliance Date 4/25/2025	The sunscreen was previously stored behind a gated area under the sink in the changing area, based on guidance from a prior compliance inspector. Upon being informed that this storage method was not acceptable, we immediately relocated the sunscreen to a different area that was reviewed and approved by our current compliance inspector. This correction was made on-site at the time of notification to ensure full compliance with safety regulations.
