I found this article on ledsmagazine.com. Imagine being paid only fifty cents per hour to be poisoned making the CFLs some of us use? The article tells it all, click here.

its sad to hear how bad working conditions those factories have. Is manufacturing CFL more "handwork" than normal FL. Once there was this document in tv where they show how FL were manufactured and that was all done by machine not human.

But here we have another reason not to buy chinese "Ping-Pong" CFLs. (the first one being that the quality sucks.)
