Six models of eclipse glasses have been withdrawn due to the risk of eye injuries.

Consumer authorities in several autonomous communities have ordered the withdrawal of six models of eclipse glasses due to the risk of causing eye damage. The products in question are from the brands Lionstar, ECP Eye Care Professional, Pelispan, Homanaje, Orro, and Opticalia.

The irregularities were detected by consumer administrations in the Community of Madrid, Castilla y León, Galicia, La Rioja, and Aragón. According to consumer notifications, the six models of glasses share similar issues: the filter is below the minimum transmittance level (too dark), leading users to see only total darkness and struggle to locate the sun. As a predictable reaction, users slide the glasses up their forehead, tilt them, or remove them momentarily to frame the position of the sun, intending to put them back on immediately. During this unprotected interval, eyes are directly exposed to solar radiation (visible, infrared, and ultraviolet).

In the case of Lionstar glasses, model LSP1, the product was included in the non-food hazardous product alert network coordinated by the Ministry of Social Rights, Consumption, and the 2030 Agenda on 5 August by the Directorate-General for Trade, Consumption, and Services in the Community of Madrid. The notification includes a ban on marketing and immobilisation of the units found.

ECP Eye Care Professional glasses were included in the alert network by the Directorate-General for Trade and Consumption in the Junta de Castilla y León on 3 August, with an order for market withdrawal and prohibition of commercialisation.

Regarding Pelispan glasses, the market withdrawal order was included in the alert network on 29 July 2026 by the Instituto Galego de Consumo in Galicia. Galicia also warned about Homanaje glasses, model QW-50Z1, which have the same irregularities that pose a risk of eye injuries. These were included in the alert network on 29 July.

Orro glasses, model O37-R, batch 2603-01 (manufactured in March 2026), were included in the alert network by the Directorate-General for Public Health, Consumption, and Care in the Government of La Rioja on 30 July, with an order for market withdrawal and prohibition of commercialisation.

Lastly, the immobilisation and market withdrawal order for Opticalia glasses was included in the alert network coordinated by the Ministry of Consumption on 31 July by the Directorate-General for Consumer Protection and Users in the Government of Aragón.

According to the press, consumer notifications indicate that these six models of glasses share the detected irregularities, which may also affect other similar products sold or given away in recent months. The Federation FACUA-Consumers in Action has warned about the possibility that these irregularities could affect other similar products.

The next step will be to continue monitoring the market to ensure that these glasses are completely withdrawn and that similar products posing a risk to eye health are not marketed. Consumer authorities will continue to monitor and take necessary measures to protect consumers.
