My wife dropped her keys today and the case for the glow ring split in half at the seam. The tritium capsule was still intact but was laying on the ground separate from the case.

I have been following all the post concering glow rings and the: hazards/no hazard/safe/dangerous and so-on. I just thought some of yall here might be interested.

If I'm not wrong, it should be radioactive by now... rather radioactive.

Nope...the radioactivity can't even get out of the GLASS...let alone the plastic.

sprinkle the vial on your food next meal and let us know if anything glows.

mine has gotten dust in it somehow, really pisses me off, and now the caseing is starting to split, I am just going to take it apart, clean out the dust and reglue it, along the entire edges.

I've got a broken vial Glowring that one of my friends gave back to me (broken) that I have to get replaced if I can. I gave my friend one of mine. Traser have replaced without question a couple of mine in the past (it's always my friends who manage to break 'em) I think I'll post all the broken ones I can find to Traser for their continual improvement processes to QC.

Yet another job to do next year!
