Seven models of glasses designed for viewing the eclipse have been recalled from the market due to a potential risk of eye injuries. Reports indicate that the danger arises because the user may only see darkness and, while attempting to adjust the glasses, the eyes would be exposed to solar radiation.

This recall has been initiated to prevent harm to users' vision, emphasizing the importance of using proper and certified glasses during astronomical events.
