"Compact fluorescent lightbulbs contain a minuscule amount of mercury, and you can’t safely ignore potential contact with it"
They banned mercury from other uses and now re-introduce into lightbulbs? As much as I like its low power consumption, I don’t really want to use them at home especially with kids around.
Yes Mercury is safe once again since the CFB (mostly Chinese) industries have a foothold in our laws outlawing incandescent bulbs.
