A member asked:
Last night i ate one of those prepackaged microwaveable bowls and i may have ingested some of the plastic covering. should i be concerned or worried? also, will there be any damage ?

Probably safe: Although chronic plastic ingestion is a very bad idea, small amount on one occasion is likely benign and no reason for concern
