Why can a substance that is more stable also cause more harmful toxic effects than a substance that is less stable?

Stability and toxicity are almost entirely unrelated in general, so any question assuming they are related is unanswerable (in the legal venacular, "assumes facts not in evidence"). Perhaps if you were more specific ("why is compound X, which is stable, more toxic than compound Y, which is not stable?") we could answer, but the answer would likely be the same if you left out the entirely irrelevant parts about stability and just asked "Why is X more toxic than Y?".
