There is no real danger in the use of household microwave ovens in terms of radiation. It is advised not to stand directly in front of one when it is on, but they have been safely in use in households for many years.

Radiation (microwaves) emitted from source in a microwave oven are confined in the oven by isolation material from which the oven is made of. Produced radiation is non-ionizing, simply because it has too low energy, so it can not cause cancer. The only danger microwave can produce are burns (same effect it has on food you put in to).
