The eclipse glasses the Douglas County library handed out are being recalled.

The vendor informed the library administration on Aug. 17 that it had “not received confirmation from the supplier of your order that they sourced the item from a recommended manufacturer. We recommend that you do not use this product to view the sun or the eclipse.”

The library advises people to discard the eclipse glasses received at the Library.

Five hundred glasses had been distributed.

Regular sunglasses are not enough to shield damaging rays that could result in blindness.
