A member asked:
Left soap container on hot radiator. would the plastic chemicals leach into my skin if used the soap?

Avoid: Not sure how much chemicals got in to the soap and what else was in the plastic. Makes it difficult to use the soap confidently

Not likely: It is likely we get tiny amounts of chemicals from plastics all the time. No reason this would be particularly worse just because it got hot.
