Heating plastics can release VOC. Many plastics will get hot in a microwave. It's recommended not to heat food in plastic containers for this reason

This applies to food, I doubt it's relevant in this scenario, but I am open to being proven wrong.

The point is VoCs and plastic particles move to other surfaces more readily (or to the air) once heated. Kids who play with toys breathe the air around them. The also touch them, and sometimes chew on them. I fail to see the meaningful difference.
