The government forced the regular light bulb off the marked and forced the new, energy-saving variety on the US population and nobody had a problem with it??? Seriously? Here are the steps recommend when you accidentally break one - how is that for being a safe product? But its okay - you just go back to sleep or watch some more reality television so you dont have to deal with reality. SMH - Evacuate the room, taking care not to step on the broken glass littering the floor - Ventilate the room for a MINIMUM of 15 minutes (EPA recommendation) - DO NOT clean the debris of the broken lamp with a vacuum cleaner as this will spread toxic mercury droplets throughout the house either immediately or upon the future use of the vacuum - Don protective gloves (I’ll be the one in SCBA too!); use a broom or brush to sweep the debris into a dustpan; empty the contents of the dustpan into a plastic bag; seal the plastic bag - DO NOT dispose of the plastic bag into an ordinary refuse receptacle - The debris is lawfully a Hazardous Material and must be disposed of accordingly
