So far 7,000 sets of 3D glasses have been confiscated from Italian cinemas and even more could be taken by the ministry. The officials claim that the glasses used in cinemas hold potential hygiene risks if they are not cleaned properly in-between screenings. The 7,000 sets of 3D viewing glasses were confiscated because they failed to display any official tags stating that they had been tested and they would not present any risk of short-term vision damage to users.
