Hey deadmousegirl, thanks for spelling mercury in all caps, I think that helps in your scare mongering to show just how dangerous these bulbs might be. Never mind that the amount of mercury in these bulbs are so small as to be meaningless. You mentioned that the vapors could kill you, but you also failed to mention how it can give you every disease known to man including the chicken pox.

By the way, do you smoke cigarettes? It would be ironic if you did. (By the way, cigarettes contain mercury too, along with all those other nice toxins.)

You fail to mention, as do many folks, that these bulbs contain MERCURY!

If one of these bulbs breaks, do NOT inhale the vapors, it could be fatal.

It is illegal in my state to discard them with household waste, as they pose a health threat, and must be recycled.
But there are VERY FEW recycling places.
IKEA supposedly will recycle them IF you happen to have a store nearby.
