Plexiglass weights

For anyone that has purchased the Lead shot plexiglass weights size
4" x 4 1/2" x 1-1/2 from University Products (Cat. #898-0441), do
not drop them!  Ours shattered when it was dropped and spread the
20,000 or so little balls of lead shot throughout our lab.  They are
not the easiest things to clean up either.  I mentioned this to
University Products and they said they haven't received any other
complaints.  Just thought I'd warn people.  Maybe it was a bad
batch.
