If you break a light bulb, the glass can shatter and pose a risk of cuts or injury. Additionally, if it's an incandescent bulb, there may be a risk of exposure to tiny fragments of glass or filament. For compact fluorescent bulbs, breaking one can release small amounts of Mercury, which requires careful cleanup to avoid health risks. It's important to handle the situation cautiously and follow safety guidelines for cleanup and disposal.
