Despite persistent rumors to the contrary, poinsettias are not poisonous, and munching on the occasional poinsettia leaf won't kill your pet. According to the American Association For the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) Poison Control web page, eating poinsettias will probably produce gastrointestinal tract irritation, but no serious symptoms. If your pet is elderly, ill or very young, take extra precautions, but with some prudent placement, poinsettias can brighten up even a pet owner's home.
It's good to know the truth after all these years.
