This was debunked way back in 2005. See link:

Here’s a quote:

The cheapest pair of sunglasses–and even clear glass or plastic, for that matter–can block a significant amount of UV radiation. “You’re just not going to get in trouble if you block out sunlight,” says Dr. Kent Daum, an associate professor in the School of Optometry at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

Maybe we should just walk around with our eyes closed all the time. No UV rays then. Seems to work fine for a lot of other problems in our world….

Cheap sunglasses do not cause cancer. If you step inside a mall and put on a pair of inexpensive sunglasses, will you get cancer?

Wow, that’s pretty bad. I always have a nice pair of expensive driving glasses that I’ve kept for years because they help me see, so now I can laugh at the people who’ve used $4 shades off a discount rack at the beach. Also, did no one else laugh when they read the title? I could have sworn they meant the ZZ Top song. But anyway, very informative.

It’s bullshit that anyone should be relying on the government to mandate something. That’s what’s gotten us in so much trouble with our economy. The only way to ‘mandate’ something like this effectively without backlash is to let capitalism run it’s course. If we go to private organisations (eg. Good Housekeeping) and look for their stamp of approval, the bad sunglasses will be forced to raise their standards or be forced out of the market. The answer to any question of government mandation is FUCK NO! We the people need to fucking do it ourselves.
Also, as an Australian I dispute that there is a “massive” population.

I couldn't say whether it is the governments responsibility to ban cheap sunglasses. Additionally, I am sure it isn't true that all cheap sunglasses are inadequate at banning UV rays. However, you can feel safe that buying a more expensive designer pair of sunglasses will protect your eyes. Check out Eye Pieces of Vail.

As most of us are fully aware, most dirt cheap products are made in China, dont you love the Chinese! Im sure they are having problems sleeping in their beds, over in China knowing that they are deliberately damaging the healths of the Americans.
