Toxic to pets
Pineapple broom is a broom, and brooms are harmful to people if eaten: the seeds and pods carry the most poison and are what a child is most likely to pick, causing vomiting and weakness, so keep children from them. Dogs and cats that eat the seeds, pods or leaves are at the same risk. If a person eats any, get medical advice; if a pet does, ring your vet.
