The following are the recommended actions to take in the event of a broken Energy Saving Bulb. Evacuate the room, taking care not to step on the broken glass littering the floor. Ventilate the room for a MINIMUM of 15 minutes. DO NOT clean the debris of the broken lamp with a vacuum cleaner as this will spread toxic mercury droplets throughout the house either immediately or upon the future use of the vacuum. Put on protective gloves; use a broom or brush to sweep the debris into a dustpan; empty the contents of the dustpan into a plastic bag; seal the plastic bag. DO NOT dispose of the plastic bag into an ordinary refuse receptacle. The debris is lawfully a Hazardous Material and must be disposed of accordingly!!!!! WHY ARE WE NOT WARNED OF THESE HAZARDS??
