As a pregnant woman I took the baby and fled the room while my husband dealt with the hazardous waste. I didn't want to eat off the table for a week. Gee, somehow I never felt at risk with incandescent light bulbs. If they break you just sweep it up. No hazmat suit necessary. How is this better for the environment? <br /><br />And what was all the hysteria a few years ago about getting rid of those environmentally hazardous mercury thermometers?
