Safe to take apart GE LED light bulb?

One of my GE LED stooped working, will not bother with warranty. I read some where a while ago that the coolant inside is toxic. Can I open it without touching the coolant, or is it a gas? Finally, anyone opened them before? it looks like brute force may be needed.

Coolant? What coolant? LED lamps typically use aluminum heatsinks to cool the LED chips, if they cool them at all.

Are you maybe confusing LED and compact fluorescent lamps? The latter use tubes that contain a small amount of mercury vapor, and indeed should not be broken if at all possible, especially indoors.
