The product, in the report: Flying Fisherman mens Cove Sunglasses, Matte Crystal Frames/Tobacco Amber Lenses, Medium US
I wore these sunglasses almost daily for a couple of monthstypically 4 to 5 hours a daywhile working outdoors, recreating, and driving. It was during this exact period that I developed two small growths on my nose and one on my brow which appear to be permanent at this point. I stopped wearing the glasses immediately, and for over a year since, Ive undergone extensive topical peptide treatment to try to treat them. While the growths have diminished significantlydown to the sizes shown in the accompanying photosthey were initially 3 to 4 times larger.
From the moment I opened the box, the glasses emitted a strong chemical odor, especially from the blue rubber nose piece that extends both down the bridge of the nose and up toward the brow. The smell was similar to DEET or another potent bug repellent.
Its worth noting that these sunglasses come with a California Proposition 65 warning, indicating they may contain chemicals known to cause cancer or reproductive harm.
Given the strong timing correlation, the chemical odor, and the location of the growths directly under the rubber contact areas, it seems highly likely that these glasses were the cause.
I’m sorry to write this because the glasses seemed to be very well designed otherwise.
