Subject: In regards to my complaint #*******, after having talked to a few people i have some new element to consider, which i did not even knew as the seller did not mention this fact, and could be very serious and infringing us Law

Concerning the product mentioned on jabber site and the BBB site, which was on invaluable site and on e bay site offer for auction, the seller did not inform E bay, Invaluable or the futur auctioners that this large Vaseline glass bowl was made of glass which contain different radioactive elements toxic for human and animal being.

As it is written in the description of the LOT 328;
"Seller assumes all responsibility for this listing"

LOT 328

Seller's Estimate: USD 0 - 0

With large Vaseline glass bowl the bowl is damaged

The seller should have notified that a Vaseline glass bowl, specially a large one, is containing radioactive elements which can be particularly dangerous for human health.

To make it simple for the novice, a Vaseline bowl is containing the following radioactive particules;

· U234 which is the most radioactive isotope of uranium as being and alpha emission

· U238 which is also a radioactive isotope of the uranium as being an alpha emission and which is disintegrating in different isotope and ending giving radon, a radioactif gaz which has been seen a long time proved to be carcinogen

· Th231, Thorium 231 which is radioactive as being and alpha emission of U235

· Th234, Thorium 234 which is radioactive as being and alpha emission of U238

Th234 produce Pa234, Protactinium 234, which is radioactive

Th234, Pa 234 produce radioactive bêta and gamma emissions

Pa 234 produce U234 which is a radioactive alpha emitter for a period of 250,000 years!

Moreover, disintegration of radioactive elements cause the emission of alpha particles, beta or gamma which are more or less impact on human and animal organisms.

Some parts of the desintegration of those elements may give also radium radioactive element.

Finally, the fact that the seller writes that the bowl is damaged is very worrying because the product can easily crumble or deteriorate and thus turn into dust inhalation which is highly toxic and impossible to prevent in a domestic setting as requiring the implementation of professional devices.

All these causes of major radioactive toxicities through a domestic environment linked to the presence in the Vaseline bowl of radioactive elements with life period of several thousand years should have:

· been indicated by the seller. None of those indications were notified on both site where the seller put this article

· prevent the sale on e bay or invaluable for such a product containing dangerous radionuclides and banned from sale in many countries

· prevent the sale of such products are banned from export in many countries and transport within the country without special precautions for the staff concerned and the environment in case of deterioration of the element (which according to the seller's is already the case, which is even more oblivious of him and makes him guilty of serious health and environmental négligences!)

As a professional in the medical field and radio protection against radiation, we consider it our duty to intervene in this debate and inform the necessary authorities and the sites concerned by the serious lack or relevant information in the description of this product of the GALLERY 70TWO by selling on a site open to non-professional public, an article containing radio active elements without any information, in contravention with several international laws and risking serious injury to the safety of the buyer and it immediate environment.
