Due to the chemical makeup of Elmer's glue, it is not toxic if you get it on clothing, carpet, or any other surface than what it is meant to be used on. Most Elmer's glue isn't waterproof, making it pretty easy to remove from most surfaces.

When used correctly, hot melt glue and glue sticks aren't toxic, and they shouldn't release toxic fumes. There's no clear evidence that hot glue releases toxic fumes if used at the recommended temperatures. Equally there's no clear data around the safe concentration or exposure limits of hot glue fumes.

There are different types of glues (some with formaldehyde, others without) but the two most common are: urea formaldehyde (UF) usually used in MDF, which continue to release formaldehyde throughout the life of the wood.
