Cleaning up _4_ broken ones in an approximate 3 month time span gave me mild mercury poisoning last year.
[a blood level of “49” which is 10X the “safe amount”]
It was a *very* physically unpleasant 6 months until my levels came back down.
Think about that for a while.
Imagine how *little* it would take to poison a much smaller _child_.
Thanks nanny state hypocrites!

Or a pet.
Wouldn’t it be something if pelosi, reid, obama and boner all got some mercury bulbs mailed to them? And they weren’t packed correctly? No padding or styrofoam peanuts to stop them from breaking during shipment? You know, as a protest? Would that be against the law? mmmm?
Death to the evil toxic twisty bulbs!
It scares me to think of the 48-inch fluorescent bulbs I smashed over the years because they wouldn’t fit in the trash otherwise.
While I detest class-action lawsuits you and other should join in the future class-action against the makers of mercury lightbulbs. It is a testament to the stupidity of liberalism and the nanny state that we are introducing a toxic and damaging substance into our homes to be more “environmental”.
Think of all the super-fund cleanup sites we will have at landfills.
Crazy! I bet there will be a huge class-action soon. While there are certainly more important decisions to be made in D.C. this one is absolute proof of how truly broken our country is.
