Is Accidental Ingestion Of Burnt Plastic Harmful?

Hi made a casserole in a disposable casserole foil dish without realizing that the plastic lid was underneath the foil portion. We ate the casserole and when I was cleaning up found the plastic lid melted underneath the foil dish. I am concerned we ingested plastic. How worried should I be?
