Some Styrofoam (this is the brand name for a type of plastic) can be safely used in a microwave oven but you should check for a microwave-safe label first.
According to the Harvard Medial School, the FDA tests the safety of all plastic containers under conditions within their intended use. When used in a microwave oven, these containers release chemicals (plasticizers) within an acceptable range. Using a plastic container that is not microwave-safe is outside the testing of the FDA and should therefore be done with caution, if at all, because the level of chemicals released may exceed an acceptable/healthy range.
Note that most takeout containers are not microwave safe so if you plan on reheating that meal you may want to transfer it to a glass or ceramic, microwave-safe container first.
