Solar Eclipse Glasses Recalled

ALERT! ALERT! Families4Fauquier just received an important press release about the Solar Eclipse glasses distributed by the Fauquier County Public Library between August 9-14.

The Fauquier County Public Library joins many other organizations nationwide in responding to recent reports of fraudulent eclipse glasses flooding the market. While the glasses distributed by the Library from August 9-14 state they are from Solar Eclipse International, a professional manufacturer of solar eclipse glasses that meet ISO standards, they were obtained through a third party vendor Ballaj Inc. Because Ballai, Inc. is not shown on Solar Eclipse International’s website as an approved third party vendor it is unclear if Ballaj Inc. was selling authentic Solar Eclipse International glasses or fraudulent ones.
