No, There's no conclusive evidence linking the use of plastic and risk of cancer. Yes, Microwave-safe plastic containers and wraps are safe to use in the microwave to warm up the food. But plastic containers not intended for use in the microwave could melt and potentially leak chemicals into your food. So avoid microwaving containers that were never intended for the microwave
