Not to prolong this ready-to-expired thread, but it sounds like that
incident was probably an over-reaction. According to the EPA:
"Research indicates that there is no immediate health risk to you or
your family should a bulb break and it’s cleaned up properly."
They should be treated as hazardous waste, though, and not disposed of
in the normal garbage.
