It would be enough to allow regular light bulbs, and have an information campaign on the massive exceeding of critical treshhold levels. Too many people simply b elieve what the officials are feeding them, and that when the things are being sold they "must be safe". But that is wrong, and the examination of the German Federal Envrionment Office shows by what huge degree it is wrong. The problem indeed is lacking knowledfge of people, and the risks in an "child-infested"
envuironment. Children play, they play enthusiastically, and throw things. Me too broke lights once or twice, when I was a small boy. And ther the health hazard is a very serious one. The quicksilver is not a drop on the floor, it is a gas that fills the air and gets inhaled. See my friend's child, what the conseqeunces can be, since almost half the year the detox her. It is no fun for the kid, and a worry for the parents.
I do not even mention the electgrosmof problem of these things, and the broken promises on their lifespan, and the constant degrading of the brightness over the lifespan. This is just about a direct and severe health risk to playing kids, due to quicksilver. The allowed treshholds are exceeded by a factor of twenty, the German office found. Mind you: it is a governmental office, no private lobby or third party institute running separate interest agendas. Governments do not like if their own offices contradict the officially wanted policies.
