Contrary to popular belief, poinsettias are not toxic to humans or pets. This is a very, very hardy, longstanding, and oft-repeated myth that is just not true.
On the flip side, something real to watch for is plumeria (Plumeria rubra) sap, a latex, which can create a rash (dermatits) similar to poison oak. If you're pruning plumeria and looking up, sap could drip into your eyes, which would not be fun at all!
