Has the construction of this product changed? I dont understand how some state there is absolutely no ordor but others comment on the strong odor.

My tiles did not have an odor. They worked out great and I would definitely recommend them.

I am unaware of a change. Maybe they are talking of initial smell with you unwrap it? I have had mine for some time now and don't smell anything and my son loves these mats. We build forts with them sometimes or use them on the hard floor as a cushioned place to play. Have had zero issues with smell or anything in regards to these.

Great question. The constructions of this product has not changed. However, with any new shrink wrapped products there will a minor "new" smell that will fade with time. We recommend you allow them to air out for 1-3 days if odor is present.

Mine did not smell different. U may have gotten a bad one or something. Probably see about an exchange and gage from there.

Well，I think it does has smell because I was shocked by it at first. It is a problem that I didn't mention before. But the smell may be not that strong.

I have been buying this product for about 6months now and it does have a little smell to it, but not overwhelming. If it's quite noticeable I would suggest sending it back. It shouldn't be super strong. I notice it when I have my nose close to the container, but otherwise its faint. Good luck!

I did notice the smell but mine wasn't what I would call strong. And it did air out. Haven't noticed since the first day. Hope this helps.

Yes Eric. Over time, a short period too, the smell faded. Now it's the best organizer I have found to date. I look from time-to-time but found this the best size and capacity.

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.

Mine didn't smell like any of the odors you mentioned when I got it. It still doesn't smell like that today, after 1 year of use. I occasionally air it out - without dirty clothes in it. The only issue I've ever had to deal with was I put damp towels in it and forgot. So the bottom got moldy. I just sprayed the moldy part with hot water, scrubbed it with a tiny squirt of laundry soap, wiped it down and let it dry. It's good as new. I don't know why yours has that smell.

I received mine today and it has a VERY strong odor. Which, is making the headache that I got this product to help with, much worse.

I ordered a black one from a non-prime partner which took 3 weeks to arrive and it has a strong odor. It is definitely a knock-off and not an official Quirky product. I will try soaking it in some cleaning products... I received one as a gift before I ordered this one and it is an official Quirky product and does not have the odor.

I never noticed any odor. Some people are more sensitive to that kind of thing than others, but apparently if there was an odor, I neverpicked up on it.

I bought two of them in the past two years. I didn't remember the strong smell like you sensed. I am not sure if the smell is from new paint.

Julie, I think the product smell is very light and not at all unpleasant. Could it be you got an out-of-date or defective product?

I have not noticed any odors or smells but this isn't my primary device so I don't use it a lot. I will deliberately check it and if there is any strange odor I will comment back. :)

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.

If there was, I didn't notice it. We use them for our rentals and I haven't noticed any odors from them since we bought them months ago. If there is an odor, you can just wash it before you use it.
