Is It Dangerous For An Infant To Accidentally Eat Melted Plastic?

I just finished dinner and noticed the black plastic from the large slotted spoon I used to stir my spaghetti sauce with, some melted and mixed with the sauce. I had no idea thought it was the seasoning. I also gave this to my four year old granddaughter. I m panicked is this dangerous?
