The fluorescent light bulbs represent a serious health risk, they cause cancer. They are also full of Mercury and radiation. The news is warning people that if your break one of these light bulbs these are the steps that you should take. 1. Open all of your windows. 2. Open all of your doors. 3. Call the Poison Center Control. 3. DON'T VACUUM any of the broken pieces if they get in your carpet. 4. Put on rubber gloves that you will never use again, to make sure that your skin doesn't come into contact with the broken pieces of this bulb. 5. Pregnant women shouldn't go near these bulbs at all, because they could cause birth defects. 6. The EPA say that if you break one of these bulbs DON'T put it in your trash can, because it is too hazardous. They say that it should be taken to a hazardous waste collection site.

I'm willing to bet you that 98% of Americans don't know the danger of those light bulbs. |

Something that harmful should not be sold to the public.
