Parents of small children and pet owners are often concerned about the toxicity of plants in the garden. You can plant pampas grass without any worries. The grass contains no toxins. However, it is not entirely safe.
Pampas grass is completely non-toxic
Pampas grass is not poisonous but pungent
Pampas grass does not contain any toxic substances, so there is no risk of poisoning children or pets.
However, pampas grass is not necessarily suitable for every garden. This is not only due to the size that the perennial reaches over time.
The leaves of pampas grass are razor sharp and can cut small cuts just by touching bare skin. Some varieties have small barbs that can also cause injury. You should take this into account when choosing a location.

Some cats seem to have a penchant for nibbling on pampas grass leaves. It does not harm them directly, only occasionally the very tough weed gets stuck in their throats and has to be removed by the vet.
