I should have known something was up when Walmart started pushing them-- they're probably made with the toxins left over after the Chinese finish making our kids' toys.

What we should do is to spread the message of the risks involved in a breakage of CFL bulb, since according to one estimate I read,the present recycling rates are dismally low because of the more than 300 million compact fluorescents sold in the United States last year, only- As few as 2 percent are being recycled. The rest are being dumped somewhere,broken or not. Th precautions proposed are no doubt exhaustive, and wearisome, but then they cover all possibilities so that nothing is left to chance.
