Because today's glow in the dark stuff doesn't contain radium, it contains the stuff in fireflies and Mountain Dew.

Do watch dials still use radium?
From many years radium is not used for watches (or other measuring instruments) dials.
Do you experience radium in everyday life?
Before it was known how harmful the radiation emitted by radium as it decays is to living tissue, it was applied to some products such as watch faces for its glow-in-the-dark property. Now we know better. Today, unless you are working in the field of nuclear medicine or you are mining uranium ore, you will not be running into radium.

Why does radium glows in dark?
No, radium does not glow in the dark. If it did, then the whole world would be glowing in the dark. Rocks, soil, plants, and any living thing contains some radioactive material. The myth can be traced back to the "radium craze" of the early 20th century, when radium was just about added to everything. When the radium was added to paint, it became luminous. This was the origin of the "radium glow". In fact, it wasn't the radium glowing, but it was reacting with the copper and zinc in the paint, causing it to become luminous, in a phenomenon called "radio-luminescence".
