yes. Today's glow in the dark clocks are not made with radium, but with a light absorbing chemical. Those that glow red are actually LED, an electrical device. Radium dials were discontinued in the late 1950's, when it was discovered that workers who painted the dials had cancer of the jawbone, brought on by "sharpening" the brush by putting it in their mouths with the raduim on it.
