Can anyone identify this plastic piece that appeared in my drainage bulb? (photo)

Asked By:Cowbell in Buffalo, NY

My husband stepped my drain and along with a substantial thick clout came the attached small plastic piece. I'm assuming this is a piece from the top of the bulb... bulb still maintains vacuum (collapses and stays collapses), is this anything to worry about?
