Amazon is reaching out to customers who may have bought fake solar eclipse glasses that do not comply with industry standards. One woman, whom Amazon recently refunded, bought 500 eclipse glasses in bulk from a Chinese manufacturer but later learned they had purposely misled her with fake safety labeling.
“Safety is among our highest priorities,” an Amazon spokesperson told TechCrunch about the matter. “Out of an abundance of caution, we have proactively reached out to customers and provided refunds for eclipse glasses that may not comply with industry standards. We want customers to buy with confidence anytime they make a purchase on Amazon.com and eclipse glasses sold on Amazon.com are required to comply with the relevant ISO standard.”
