Fake eclipse glasses lawsuit

Mr Corey Payne and his fiancée Ms Kayla Harris allegedly received permanent vision damage as a result of viewing the eclipse with the defective products, and are attpting to sue Amazon in Federal Court.{{quote-A:R-W:450-Q:Both plaintiffs began to experience pain and discomfort, headaches, eye watering and other symptoms.}}The popularity of the event caused a surge in sales for the glasses and the online retailer was swamped by low-quality fakes that did not offer the same safety features as the authentic glasses. Amazon later warned customers about the dangerous glasses and offered refunds, but the class action suit states the couple did not receive the warning before the eclipse.The lawsuit alleges Payne and Harris are suffering negative effects from staring at the eclipse, despite claiming to have not roved the protective glasses during the event.“Later that day, both plaintiffs began to experience pain and discomfort, headaches, eye watering and other symptoms. Thereafter, both plaintiffs began to see dark spots in their line of vision, suffered vision impairment, including blurriness, a central blind spot, increased sensitivity, changes in perception of colour, and distorted vision,” the lawsuit states.The couple is asking Amazon to pay the medical costs of monitoring users’ eyes to search for any early signs of damage. Amazon had not commented on the lawsuit at the time of publication.
