Is Inhalation Of Burnt Fumes A Serious Cause For Concern?

I burned a plastic macaroni and cheese cup in my microwave and 5 year old 4 year old and 11 month hold in the house. The smoke was bad and I closed the door in the bedroom but then ran downstairs through the kitchen and then smelled downstairs so I took them to the car and called their mom to get them. Do you think they are okay?
