A member asked:
Is it safe to eat food that was cooked in a regular oven after plastic burned on the racks? (there were fumes and smoke)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: There was a hoopla about plastic in the microwave a while back that had no real scientific basis. I'm not aware of any reason to be concerned about plastic in the fireplace.
