I am guessing, much like with people who manufactured glowing things using radium in the 20th century, the workers who make this stuff are at far greater risk than those who eat off of it.
Probably, the dangerous part is working with the powders before melting. I haven’t looked into it much but uranium was a common glass ingredient until the government grabbed it all to make bombs.
