Safety Disclosure

RIA Eyewear is designed for racquet/paddle sport/golf use. Even when properly wearing RIA eyewear a player may still sustain injury, including severe eye injury, as racquet and paddle sports and golf, and other sports, have intrinsic hazards. Participation in such sports implies acceptance of some risk of injury.

While RIA lenses are resistant to impact, a severe blow may reduce the level of protection significantly and the frame and lens should be replaced immediately – failure to do so could lead to serious injury. Further, should the lens dislodge from the frame during play, the wearer should stop and replace the eyewear immediately. Use only original spare parts.

Accordingly, neither the designer and manufacturer of this product, RIA, INC., nor any distributors or dealers of RIA products, nor any companies partnered with RIA, INC., makes any representation that this eyewear will eliminate the possibility of injury to the eyes, face, and/or brain.
