The Reason for these is because Some Plastic Can Not Stand the heat that The MicroWave Oven melt produce therefore when you put a unstsble Plastic in the Microwave oven it Will melt
Another Response:
Certain types of plastic may be recommended for use in microwave ovens because they allow the microwaves to pass through them. In this way the food inside the plastic container is cooked while the container stays cool. Not all plastics are microwave safe; some will melt. Metal cannot be used in microwaves. Some types of ceramic dishes, which may have metal elements in their glaze, are not safe in microwave ovens. Consequently some companies such as Tupperware, Rubbermaid and Pampered Chef produced lines of plastic cookware specifically for microwave ovens.
More recently, studies suggest that molecular particles from some types of plastic migrate into food when heated in microwave ovens. While manufacturers maintain that their products are safe, some medical experts advise using only glass or safe ceramic cookware in microwave ovens.
