They have to taken to special recycling plants since the EU has declared that the constituents in them contribute ... to ... global ... warming

Not global warming (AFAIK) but mercury pollution.

A Lawyer friend is already licking his chops over that one...

Mercury...

Thats it, I believe that you are right.

It was mercury that everyone was screaming about, but if I recall correctly - and I’m quite sure about this - it was the EU members who basically outlawed regular bulbs.

Didn’t they mandate the new energy saving bulbs to save electricity only to find that they use more electricity to recycle them than they ever saved?

Mercury? - Get a grip; do you have fillings in your teeth? - There's more mercury in one tooth than in 20 light bulbs, and every time you put a fork in your mouth, the galvanic action sends some of it to your stomach.
