Thin black plastic strip on bathroom trap?

I installed my bathroom drain line just a month ago. I opened the trap and discovered thin black needle like plastic strip. What is it and where it comes from?

If you're sure nothing was into the drain, then I'd say the plastic is deteriorated. Bad mfg. process. If you cut it open I'll bet the inside is peeling away. Use a flashlight and look into the trap. Does it look bad? Could be left over plastic from the mfg process that never got cleaned out.
