Yes when it is not used properly. Example when you burned it and you inhale the smoke, it might trigger your lung problem or give you problem in your lungs. Another thing is that, when you just put it anywhere and your little kids get it and play with it they might be suffocated when placed in their head down to their neck.

Plastic bags do not biodegrade very easily or quickly. Many often end up as litter or sitting in landfills, adding to the land pollution on this earth. Some forms of plastic can be very harmful to humans if ingested, too.

People and animals can choke on them and they take up space in landfills for a long time if discarded rather then recycled.
