Is Tomcat Mouse Killer safe if my cat might have played with one of the traps?

Yesterday, I discovered one of the Tomcat Mouse Killer traps moved from its original place, and my cat was nearby. I'm worried because while I didn't see her with the trap, I'm concerned she might have touched or played with it. Could this pose any kind of health risk to her, or is the trap designed to be safe around pets?
