In my microwave, under the turntable paint has peeled off in some
areas and the underlying metal is starting to rust.

Is there any hazard in using the Microwave in this condition?

You're fine, as long as the paint doesn't vaporize and end up in the
food. Clean up any flakes with sandpaper. Also, look for signs of
arcing as that may have caused the paint to peel.

Many thanks to all of you for helping me out.

I will try the methods suggested.
