He should be fine, it will come out in a day or so from the other end, but tell your parents, to be on the safe side.

Depends on several things, among them, the type of plastic...some platics are toxic, some are not.
The size of the chip will also effect the length of time it will take the chip to pass. A small flake could become trapped anywhere in the ailementary canal, but the small intestine is the most likely area. If it does, it may never come out.
But, putting the most basic spin on the issue, and assuming it is at least the size of a dime (or *slightly* smaller), in a day or so, he'll defecate the chip.
