Is Ingestion Of Melted Plastic Dangerous?

Is it dangerous to eat a dish that was accidentally baked with a plastic wrap still on it (with foil covering over the plastic)? Could not find the plastic wrap when the foil was taken off. Only remembered about it when a small piece of plastic wrap was on the outside of the pan.
