My daughter just had a pack of these stupid glow in the dark bracelets that can be purchased in dollar stores, toy stores, etc. Somehow one of them opened and she got glow in the dark “juice” on the comforter and sheets. There are now little glow in the dark spots on the comforter.
Is this stuff dangerous?

Phosphors are the chemical substances that enable the glow-in-the-dark abilities for various toys, lighting items, etc. I visited several websites and none of them contained any information about these substances being toxic or dangerous to people. Like @Rarebear said above, I don’t think there is anything to be alarmed about.
According to all the best resources available, glowing products do not present an acute danger to children or pets. You should always handle any glow product with care and supervise older children who are using it. Small children and pets should not play with glow products. Small children and pets should not play with glow products. If a glow product breaks, you do not need to panic, but you should call poison control for more information.
To reach poison control, call (800) 222–1222.
No big deal on your skin.
But call poison control if they ingest it.
Yeah, If it is on the sheets don’t worry, she has a night lamp, but if you ingest it do something, a friend of mine when he was little mangaged to break one and it got all over his face, the carpet, and on his tounge (or not) if i’m correct, so you should be fine
