Hello Group: The State of Vermont has a labeling law becoming effective 3-1-2000 which requires products which contain mercury-containing components to be labeled as such and direct the customer/servicer to properly dispose of such components at the time of replacement.
I understand that fluorescent lighting tubes contain mercury and that NEMA and several mfgs. of such tubes have won a lawsuit against Vermont which puts off, at least, the effective date for marking such lighting tubes. Does anyone in the group know if this ruling affects mfgs. of equipment that use fixtures containing fluorescent tubes? Or will such appliances, etc., still need to be marked with the disposal warning as of 3-1-2000? Thanks for any info you have on this subject.
