Could The Fumes From The Oven Have Damaged The Toddler?

Hi, I was melting a little fudge cake in the microwave when I noticed smoke coming out the top, could the fumes have done damage to me and my toddler? It smelled really bad and filled the house but I opened windows and doors but the smells only just going.

Thank you for the query.
Burnt fudge fumes usually does not cause any problem, unless both of you were in the closed room for longer period.
But by your description it is clear that you realized it at early stage and got open air which is right thing to be done.
Take the toddler out doors and he shall be happy to have a fresh piece of the fudge cake in open air.
I find this answer helpful
