Go to organic store …
Go to organic store and buy heavy metal cleanse(herb). You NEED to detoxify the mercury(heavy meatl ) that you already inhaled. It’s no joke.

1 of these bulbs broke in a cieling fixure above my 2 year old sons bed,other then glass I had No Idea there was anymore danger. SO where does the mercury go once broke? how much is actuly in it that is released into the air or onto skin, then what do you do after words??? I read My light Bulb Packaging and it says nothing about what to do in this case. NO warnings at all. CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT anyone.Since the government is pressing these Bulbs wouldnt they be held acountable aswel? Any Lawyers?

Exactly. So we …
Exactly. So we drain our $ or £ out of OUR economy to fund a country with one of the most polluting industrial bases on the planet. Not to mention the fossil fuels burned in transit.

Yet the US Govt bans MV lamps for street lights??

This is for NO OTHER REASON than to save $/£ for Govt-funded lighting depts. If it was an environmental issue (bearing in mind the lighting depts have access to proper lamp disposal/recycling, unlike the general public) why are they forcing these lamps on us?

I will probably …
I will probably just wrap mine up real good and throw them in the trash. I do not drive and cannot go busing it all over the place every time I want to get rid of a darn light bulb. Hmmm,maybe my trash company will make a special container for them. I will have to talk to them about that.

I agree. People …
I agree. People should be given a choice until at least those mercury containing bulbs can be made virtually unbreakable. Those bulbs should be tougher than incandescent bulbs based on what they contain. This is ridiculous. This is stupidity!

Woah,that is scary. …
Woah,that is scary. So that is what the crazy Republican lady was talking about on another video I watched. She was saying something along the lines that Obama or I guess Democrats were responsible for trying to force Americans to use certain kinds of light bulbs. If the Democrats are indeed responsible for this, I see them catching when people start coming up sick after breaking or improperly disposing of those bulbs. What a mess.:-/

Oh my goodness, get …
Oh my goodness, get your home inspected ASAP. Mercury can be just as toxic as lead to brain health. If you do the right thing, you might be okay, but don’t play around. Mercury is no joke.
