Research suggests that all plastics may leach chemicals if they're scratched or heated. No matter what type of plastic it is, don't heat plastics or let them heat up in the sun. Don't use plastic in the microwave even if it says "microwave safe," and don't use plastic roasting bags in the oven. Never reuse them if they're cracked or scratched.
