Samuel, there is no reason to worry about the toxicity of artificial grass. All synthetic turf products by Global Syn-Turf are tested by independent laboratories on lead content. You can find certificates of analysis and Manufacturing Material Safety Datasheets here:
https://www.globalsynturf.com/artificial-grass-specifications-specs
MSDS contains a clause about Hazardous Ingredients:
"This product" is considered to be a non-hazardous chemical under the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration Hazard Communication Standard 29CFR1910.1200.
The latest concern was raised by the use of rubber infill, that was made from recycled tires, and experts are worried about health implications for children.
The rubber infill has nothing to do with artificial grass. There are tons of natural, organic infill options you can use for artificial grass installation. In fact, Global Syn-Turf never promoted or sold rubber infill. We always recommend natural infills for residential and commercial projects.
To add a safety cushion for kids, your clients may want to use lawn pads or shock pads underneath the turf.
