Does mold/mould in a plastic tumbler leech into the plastic?

Question by tom_at_work: Does mold/mould in a plastic tumbler leech into the plastic?
I can’t find info on this because all the stuff is about injection molds, and I want to find out for an argument if mold will leech into the plastic. The girlfriend seems to think that just hot water and a rinse will make it safe to drink from again. Others disagree.

No mould won’t leech into plastic. Just rinse with Chlorine bleach solution and warm water to destroy mould and their spores.
Then rinse a few times with hot water before using tumbler.
