Update, I just looked into Yaapro Inc (the customer on the "certs") and they were formed in New York years ago, but it's not even an active business. They haven't filed required annual requirements with the state since 2018. This is definitely bad news.
Not scrolling to see if this was already posted, but here is the list of legit suppliers and these are on that list. https://eclipse.aas.org/eye-safet...rs-filters

Until recently, the only counterfeit products we knew of were cardboard-frame eclipse glasses made by an unidentified factory in China but printed with "Mfg. by: American Paper Optics" (APO) on them. APO is one of the major U.S. manufacturers of safe solar viewers and prints its name and address on its eclipse glasses, whereas the Chinese copycat products have APO's name but not its address. Thankfully, these particular counterfeits appear to be safe.
"In recent days it has become clear that one or more unidentified factories in China are now producing counterfeit eclipse glasses printed with the name and address of a different Chinese factory, Cangnan County Qiwei Craft Co., which is known to manufacture safe products. Some also copy Qiwei's artwork, and some include the name and/or logo of Qiwei's principal North American distributor, Solar Eclipse International, Canada (SEIC).
Some of these newly identified counterfeits are indistinguishable from genuine Qiwei products and appear to be safe. Others look like Qiwei's eclipse glasses, but when you put them on, you realize they are no darker than ordinary sunglasses. So, these products are not just counterfeit, but also fake –– they're sold as eclipse glasses, but they are not safe for solar viewing."
Thanks for the research but it's still pretty scary to buy something that says counter feit are safe because even as a Chinese American I don't trust the Chinese
