Is the gel inside toxic if the pack breaks?

Troubleshooting
Pack is too stiff when cold
Ensure the pack is not left in the freezer for excessively long periods, which can make it rigid. Allow it to temper slightly at room temperature before use.
Pack overheats in microwave
Always heat in short intervals (15-30 seconds) and test temperature frequently. Ensure your microwave wattage is considered when following heating guidelines. Do not exceed recommended heating times.
Pack is not getting cold enough
Ensure the pack has been in the refrigerator or freezer for the recommended duration (at least 1-2 hours for fridge, 1 hour for freezer). Check that the freezer compartment is at an adequate temperature.
Pack leaks gel
Inspect the pack for any tears or punctures. If leakage occurs, discontinue use and dispose of the pack safely. Contact the manufacturer if the product is still under warranty.
