Phoebe starts dating a cop, who gets annoyed with a bird singing outside his apartment window in the morning. Instead of simply scaring it away or closing the window he shoots and kills it. Phoebe breaks up with him pretty quickly.

In two episodes - one is awful and has it throughout. It's the episode where phoebe and Rachel are fighting on who lives with Monica and who lives with Joey.
The other episode is better. It just talks about holding one but doesn't show one. It's the episode where Rachel is scared of the swings.

No, but there is an episode when they show that Rachel has an intense phobia of "things coming close to, or touching eyes", and the others make fun of it. No eye mutilation, but they have to go to the eye doctor in several episodes (problems just mentioned, not explicitely shown).

There are other instances as well, Ross breaks his fingers in an episode, Rachel cracks her ribs, Ross almost breaks Monica's hand. There are a lot of minor injuries.

Joeys head gets squashed in between the door of Monica’s apartment season 10 episode 8. It’s nothing gruesome and the character suffers no injury from it

There is a slight mention of cancer in one of the earlier seasons, Rachels Dad talks about how his boat is rusted and tells Ross that rust is boat cancer. Could be triggering for some viewers as he says it quite aggressively too.

There is one episode in the first season when Chandler and a woman gets trapped in an ATM because there is a black-out. There are some other scenes where people or several people are in very small rooms, but they are not really claustrophobic.

No, but Monica struggles with getting pregnant and eventually learns it is impossible. She later adopts but it is an emotional plot line.

There is a lot of kissing and "making out". Sex is not shown explicitly, but sometimes characters are shown afterwards, naked in bed. There is a lot of talk and jokes about sex, and quite a lot of times, when they watch p***o on TV in the background, and the sound effects can be heard.

In the plot of a later episode, there is rape by deceit. Monica and Chandler are fighting, and it is the last die she is ovulating, and they want to conceive a child. Chandler says he does not want their child to be conceived while they're fighting, and Monica appears to respect this, and they make up and have sex. As soon as they're finished, Monica admits she was lying and picks up the fight again. In a later scene it also implied that Chandler has committed rape by deceit when she says "You used to tell girls you were a Kennedy!". The fight is resolved when Joey gaslights Chandler saying "You're a guy and you got to have sex. What are you complaining about?" making a joke out of male rape victims. Overall, it is an episode that has not aged well.
There is also a tailor who sexually assaults clients in an earlier episode. All the male characters behave towards women they are attracted to in incredibly creepy ways at some point during the show. Joey removes the shower curtain when he gets a female roommate.

No but lots of problematic gay jokes and plot lines that portray gay people in a negative light. Chandler is often teased for seeming ‘gay’ (he is not); an episode where upon getting a female roommate Joey ‘acts like a woman.’
Ross becomes concerned at one point that his son is playing with a Barbie & is generally hostile towards his ex-wife (who left him for a woman) and her [female] partner. He occasionally gets paranoid about future girlfriends being gay.

No slurs that I can think of but Chandler (and occasionally other characters) is routinely made fun of for acting/seeming ‘gay’ (he is not) and it can be pretty problematic.

Echoing another comment, there's very little racial diversity throughout the show. Like almost none.

Chandler’s “father” is either a trans woman or a VERY convincing drag queen ,but either way a good chunk of the humor relies on this one joke

Throughout towards Monica. Severe eating disorder content that can be very triggering with its portrayal of obesity and Monica’s new weight being used as a positive and something to aspire to

Joey's Days of Our Lives character Drake Ramoray falls accidentally down the elevator, instantly dying. The production used that as a method to cut him out of the show and the details of the body are gruesome.

Not really but Joey has a girlfriend who jokingly punches his arm a lot. The ‘friends’ make fun of him for being hurt/upset by it because she is very small and he is supposed to be a ‘man.’ Could be upsetting for men who have been subject to domestic violence and been gaslighted on account of their masculinity.

There's one comment in s3e11 where Chandler comes home feeling low because he saw Janice and asks for "a rope that's 6ft long with a noose at the end" when the gang asks what's up.

There are several scenes when people choke on something (toy parts, or Ross has an allergic reaction and has to go to the hospital).
