Best learn how to deocontaminate the place before it happens...and don't call 
any gubmint agencies if you break one.  THey will simply force you to engage the 
services of the certified folks who come in moon suits and not only remove the 
mercury, but also a significant part of your income.

Wonder when the anti-CFL lobby will pass a law making the manufacturers of those 
devices liable for the damage?
