Requirements breached
The sunglasses have a category 4 protection filter but the labelling indicates category 3. Given that they do not have the warning 'Not suitable for driving motor vehicles or road use', which is required for category 4 sunglasses, consumers may use them while driving. This could affect the user's vision and might lead to a road accident. The product does not comply with the Personal Protective Equipment Directive and the relevant European standard EN 1836.
