What does Kabbala contain that makes it so dangerous for people to read if they are younger than 40 years old and if they are not well versed in Torah?
I doubt if there is much danger in “reading” it, especially in translation, which of necessity loses both layers of meaning and preciseness (even if there is enough left to be informative and inspiring). But someone who gets into it in a deep level can lose his bearings and be swept away if he is not well grounded, which is the idea of being 40 years old and learned in the basics before approaching Kabbala. Please see our article Kabbala Before Age 40 (click here).
