Lamps containing mercury are safe to operate when properly used. If a lamp does break, it can contain mercury vapor that can leach into the ground and into the air that can pose a health risk.
It is the user of the lamp to comply with federal, state, and local regulations as regulations change frequently. Please seek council for the most update to lamp disposal requirements.
