Does this bulb contain Mercury?

Yes, Chickadee, the bulb contains Mercury I think. I said "I think" because the bulb should be disposed of in a special way, not just thrown in the trash. You can take it to almost any electronic store, and some hardware stores dispose of them for you. The bulb should last you for a long time though. Dee

All florescent bulbs contain mercury. They are all considered hazardous waste if broken, and should not be cleaned up with your bare hands.

No such thing as a mercury free cfl. You now have to make your own incandescents if you're worried about mercury in your house(and have the local power plant put mercury in the air instead).

I'm not sure, probably ok since they are small & do contain mercury, & but you can use the dimmer. I bought LED daylight bulbs & love the lighting, we just dim during tv time.

Hi there, I purchased this w/ the hearing aid for my father in law, who is overseas. I'm not sure about the mercury content and I don't have the packaging to confirm.

Yes, though the first bulb burned out within a week. I haven't replaced it yet.

Louise, I didn't know the answer to your questions so I called the company. The woman I talked to sounded a bit horrified when I asked if their products contained mercury. Her response was "Absolutely not!" She went on to add it does not contain gluten, dairy products, soy, or animal products either. Everything is made here in the US. I'm glad you asked, because I learned something as well.

Note that this is NOT a CFL bulb. It is an LED. No mercury issues with LED. However, the lighting is a slightly different shade. You might not like it. It is very easy to replace. You do not need an electrician. If you look at the picture of the item, it shows a cord with an orange end and a silver end. The silver end screws into where you would screw in a normal bulb. The orange end connects into the orange cord coming from the main light housing. Once those two parts are connected, the only difficult part is to align/squeeze the two silver hooks so that the light housing stays within the existing canister. The whole process is really quite simple and should take just a few minutes to do. Also, the housing sits flush against the ceiling, so once it's installed, all you will see is the bulb and the rim around it. Hope this helps.

Yes, it does. I had to be shipped two units before I got a working bulb though.

Yes. We have had no problems with it. Have bought the same bulb in the past.

I don't think so I just looked it up and it just says that it is free of potentially high levels of mercury but does not say mercury free. I do know the Natures Way brand are mercury free. Hope that helps.

I ordered a replacement bulb and got the wrong one, so I can't answer this question. Sorry!!

This bulb has the same base as a standard household bulb, However without seeing James description, I can't say how it reads. It could read "not a mogul base". Rest assured that this bulb is a medium base, but must have either a High Pressure Sodium or Mercury Vapor Ballast and starting circuit depending on the style of bulb. Sodium has a straight arc tube and Mercury or Multi-vapor have larger arc chamber centered. KL

This is a plant-based product, no shellfish, so I believe it would contain no mercury. It is NOT a fish oil omega 3 supplement. On their website, now foods has an easy-to-read visual of the product label.

The label says "PCB and Mercury Free". Here is the producer's website http://www.naturesway.com/Products/Essential-Fatty-Acids-EFAs/15682-EfaGold-Mega-DHA.aspx

I do not know. The website of the manufacturer (Greenpasture) has a page with their analysis of the product for several nutrients. I do not know if mercury levels appear there. The best would be to ask the manufacturer by phone or email if that product has been recently analyzed for mercury or other toxic metals such as lead, nickel, cadmium. Other option is to take the bottle of pills to a USDA laboratory and check if they can analyze the product by free or by a fee. Please let me know if you get a response to my email sheila092001@yahoo.com. That is a very interesting question to know an answer!

No. I purchased a bulb that is 100 watts. It works fine but entire metal casing gets extremely hot.
