I have heard the problem is you could break the plastic case open, then you could fracture the glass tube, then you could drink the glowing liquid. This would be a bad thing<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
As far as I am aware, these are filled with a few microliters of tritium gas, which would simply float harmlessly away if the ampoule is busted - much like what happens to helium in a broken party balloon.

It is amazing what they say is dangerous and remove it, yet we still have cars? Go figure. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
...and guns, and electric food blenders with sharp rotating blades, vises that can pinch fingers, power drills, and lest we not forget, those pesky laser pointers...
Inhaling a few microliters of tritium is probably no more likely to kill you than a tooth x-ray.
