Hello Listees,
I have just learned about recent legislation in Massachusetts that
requires manufacturers of products containing Hg to register with the state
and establish recycling programs. My company markets deli scales, some of
which use a vacuum fluorescent display lit by very small fluorescent lamps. I
understand that computer monitors use the same type of lamps.
I find it hard to believe that there wouldn't be an exemption for
users of such small amounts of Hg. I am familiar with the Northeast states
IMERC regulations and these same units already comply with their usage
reporting, marking and instruction manual requirements.
I'd appreciate if any of the other manufacturers within this group,
whose products also use these small fluorescent lamps, would comment
concerning how they're complying with the new regulations.
Thanks in advance.
Good day,
Richard I. Pittenger
