I did stop using them, not because of the mercury, but because I got a bad batch that lasts much less time than regular bulbs. It was GE too. It was just a fluke, but they're expensive and I didn't care to buy another box.

I think I'll stick with my regular bulbs until 2014 now that I've read snopes and watched the video about clean-up advice. I'm pretty sure that by then, they will have created safer bulbs.

I'm all for saving the environment, but not at the risk of harming my grandchildren, my dogs, or myself.

I do love the duct tape trick though.
