Emergency room Made Jul 18, 2011, published by CPSC Aug 9, 2011
The product, in the report: Galileo Thermometer, long glass cylinder filled with bulbs used to tell the temperature. Found recalled on cpsc website. Was bought at a yardsale.
My 10 year old son and his grandmother broke a galileo thermometer, not realizing the danger. It took a little while before he got cleaned off. There were no warning labels to tell us it was filled with petroleum distillates. He ended up in the ER with rapid hear rate, elevated bp, and trouble breathing. I believe this stuff poisoned him.
