A recent investigation by Which? found that one in three children's sunglasses purchased from popular online platforms are unsafe and lack the necessary UV protection. Many of these sunglasses, designed to attract kids with their colorful shapes, fail safety tests and are illegal to sell in the UK. Experts warn that wearing such sunglasses can be dangerous for children, leading to serious issues like cataracts or blindness. The investigation highlights the need for parents to avoid cheap options online and instead shop at reputable stores where safety compliance is more likely.
The investigation found that a third of children's sunglasses sold online are unsafe and offer insufficient protection against UV rays, raising serious health concerns.
Six of the 20 sunglasses tested made misleading claims about UV protection, and two pairs offered dangerously low levels, indicating a serious risk for children's eye health.
