Scientist have found that when oxygen staved cells are rapidly delivered very high levels of oxygen it can kill them.
People suffering from severe lung/respiratory impairment can be harmed by even small increases in oxygen concentration (i.e. >21% oxygen that we normally breath in the air).

Is oxygen poiseness to plants and animals?
It's only poisonous when a single oxygen atom is bonded with a single carbon atom. This makes carbon monoxide, and is poisonous to the body, because the body can't use it. We take in the natural occurring form of oxygen as 02, meaning that there are two oxygen atoms bonded together. We use this form of oxygen to carry out our life processes. When the person is exposed to carbon monoxide and oxgygen (O2), the body chooses carbon monoxide unaware that the body is unable to use it. So in conclusion, carbon monoxide is poisonous, but oxygen in the form of O2, is what we need to survive, so it's not poisonous.
