Recall Issued for Eclipse Glasses Over Safety Concerns

Amazon and Illinois officials alert customers about recalled eclipse glasses failing to meet safety standards.

Illinois officials have recalled certain brands of eclipse glasses, including Biniki Solar Eclipse Glasses, sold through Amazon and various retailers in Illinois and Missouri, due to potential safety standard failures.
Amazon has emailed customers who purchased the recalled glasses, advising against their use for the upcoming eclipse and offering refunds.
The recalled glasses are incorrectly labeled with an EN ISO 12312-1:2022 designation, while proper safety glasses should have the ISO 12312-2 designation.
The American Astronomical Society (AAS) has issued warnings about counterfeit and unsafe eclipse glasses entering the market, advising consumers to purchase from vetted suppliers.
Viewers are urged to test their eclipse glasses for safety and return any recalled products for a refund.
