GET RID OF THAT, it will make her blind, this is the reason shes rubbing her eyes
As far as I know there has not been a problem with the Reptisun compacts and those bulbs that did have problems were older and are most likely off the market. Many people, including some of the experts here, use compact UVBs for their chameleons. It's inappropriate to post scary claims when you don't know what you are talking about.
That said, I'll agree that the enclosure is too hot and I don't think there's any need for a bulb of any kind. A cool dark night is good for a chameleon. If it got below 55 or so in the house at night, I'd consider adding some heat, but it would not be heat that's attached to a light source.
