Warning: Don't Use Solar Eclipse Glasses Purchased At Jenkinson's Boardwalk

POINT PLEASANT BEACH, NJ Jenkinson's Boardwalk is warning anyone that purchases solar eclipse glasses that they may not work.

The supplier of the glasses - EverythingBranded.com - has issued a warning and does not recommend using them, according to a statement posted on Jenkinson's Facebook page early Monday morning

"We will issue a full refund to anyone who purchased our solar eclipse glasses," the post states. "Please return them to where you purchased them or mail them to 500 Boardwalk, Point Pleasant Beach, NJ 08742 for a full refund. Please contact information@jenkinsons.com with any questions."

Jenkinson's also posted the statement issued by EverythingBranded.com.

"Due to the recent media frenzy regarding suppliers of Eclipse Glasses we would like to advise our customers.
Like any good online distributor we use only trusted suppliers that have either good history with ourselves, or have been recommended via our trade association. These rules were adhered to when supplying custom Solar Eclipse Glasses.
After recent discussions with our supply chain they have confirmed that the goods meet their standards. However, due to issues with the product’s certification, we have decided that we would like to carry out our own tests to give our customers extra peace of mind. Unfortunately due to the time-span we are now unable to carry out these tests before the eclipse this coming Monday.
Therefore we recommend that customers do not use the glasses and make contact with our team to arrange a full refund.
Please note refunds after the event will require the goods to be collected to fulfill our suppliers demands.
On a personal note we are extremely sorry if this has caused any unwanted stress or inconvenience, however the care of our customers is our number one priority."
