According to Dirr:

" Seed should be scarified in sulfuric acid for 15 to 30 minutes... Seeds of
LABURNUM contain an alkaloid called cytisine, which can be fatal to
children and adults. This compound is contained in all parts of the plant.
Supposedly, one small seed can prove toxic to a small child. Extreme care
should be exercised when using this plant in a public area."
