How does it smell? I just ordered another brand and it has a chemical off-gassing type odor.

It's been a while since I received my bag but I don't recall anything offensive. If anything, there might have been a "new" product smell, but if there was, it quickly dissipated. I think if you aired it out, you will find whatever smell will go away and the product is very worthwhile. You'll be happy with it!

This one doesn't have that kind of smell. I have been using it and I like it.

I wouldn't call it a chemical smell. It has a slight newly manufactured scent similar to some fabrics in fabric stores. Like I said in my review, I washed it and hung it to dry. That took care of any smell it had at first. I must tell you that I have a very sensitive nose, and because of that, i do not use fabric softener. I find it too strong. So there was no detergent or fabric softener scent to "cover up" the mattress pad's smell after washing, and yet I did not detect a smell after it was dried.

Mine didn't have the smell, either. When it was brand-new, it had one of those "new" product smell a little but it went away fast.

I forgot to mention this, but it does take quite awhile to off-gas. Quite a heavy Petro-chemical smell that does eventually go away. Keep the room well ventilated.

Send it back. Try another one. They arent supposed to smell like that.I bought two and no smell like you describe.

It shouldn't have any smell at all. Please call Amazon and get a replacement. When I had it, it only had a very slight aroma...nothing bad.

Mine never smelled so I suspect yours.may have been accidentally exposed to something. I should tell you that I am very sensitive to smells, especially of chemical origin. I would return it.

If I remember correctly, there was a pungent aroma at first. However, over the last couple months it has faded down to near nothing (I just gave it a sniff now before writing this). I suppose if it's really bugging you, leave it outside in the sun for an hour or so (anything longer and it might start cracking due to its fake nature) to let any coatings or chemicals off-gas.

hi, it smells a little until you actually leave it out and cook for the first time. the smell was no real bother compared to other much smellier items I purchased in recent years, although not from that some supplier. the HIC brand is stronger, easier to clean and all.

mine had no particular odor but I bought it from an airport shop so maybe it was a while on display and that helped. That is at least what another reviewer suggested. By the way the price there was much lower that the regular price even with tax.

Hi Mary, my wife says it doesn't smell. It looks nice to me. Neal - Making Your Mark

Mine didn't smell at all. Possibly an extremely faint rubber smell due to the material it is made of? But it is supper subtle (I am very sensitive to smells and don't really detect anything).

My last couple of orders have been through Amazon and no smell problem noted. Take it back to your health food store and ask for a replacement. Then smell the replacement in the store before you leave.

No, it shouldn't smell that way. You should ask for an exchange. Mine came with no smell and I love it - so quiet!

The smell is from phthalate plasticizers (substances added to plastics to increase their flexibility, transparency, durability, and longevity). They are used primarily to soften PVC vinyl. It will continue to "off-gas" into your environment throughout its life. They are endocrine disrupters and if this is a concern to you then buy a product that claims to be phthalate-free (such as "Slip-X Solutions Bottomless Bath" or "Boon Ray Drain Plug").

Mine did not smell the same. Be careful, maybe something is wrong. If I were you I return it and replace it with another one.

Mine had a little odor when arrived. I left it open for a few days then it's gone.
