A couple from South Carolina is suing Amazon after receiving eclipse glasses that they claim were defective: Corey Payne and his fiancee, Kayla Harris, used them to view the eclipse on August 21 but later developed vision impairment, including blurriness and distorted vision. They are seeking to represent other customers who never received a warning from Amazon and suffered similar injuries from the company’s alleged negligence.



Starting on August 10, Amazon said it began to email customers to issue a recall of potentially hazardous solar eclipse glasses it was unable to verify as having been manufactured by reputable companies. Amazon did not disclose the scale of the recall or a list of affected vendors. Payne and Harris said they did not receive notice of the recall. They are seeking to represent other customers who never received a warning from Amazon and suffered similar injuries from the company’s alleged negligence.
