I just received my CW-Xs in the mail--they have a very strange odor. Anyone else have this experience?

Just received a pair in the mail. Mine smell funny too. Like a factory or something artificial.

Not that I remember, so I would say NO. I have a strong sensitivity to odors.

It's the smell of victory! I have two pairs and neither smelled funny. See you soon!

We do not experience such an odor. I would return if such phenomenon occurred. Sorry about your experience !

There is a slight rubbery like smell. For me it didn't bother me or my husband. It is really hard to gauge as everybody's tolerance for smell is different. I've seen them sold at a Walmart store. That might be an option.

I just got mine out to check. I have a pretty good sense of smell and mine had no odor. Sometimes soaking it submersed in vinegar for a few days will clear the smell. Good luck!

Mine had quite a bit of an odor. I'm still in the process of airing it out. Hopefully that will take care of it.

I didn't notice that at all. I have bought three of these for petty cash at work. None of them had an odd smell - and I'm pretty sensitive to smells. Maybe there was batch that was stores with some smelly stuff ??

Hmmmm. Mine did not smell. After I rinsed them, I used them. Maybe you should return the ones you received.

They had a slight odor when they came out of the packaging but it wasn't pungent. I have a very sensitive (meaning that I can smell things most people can't smell and in low doses too) nose too. I didn't wash them and the scent went away after a day or two. Hope this helps you out.

I never noticed a smell to them, even brand new out of the box. I put them under the mattress cover under the fitted sheet. So I don't know if would smell them if they did have a smell to them.

That is not normal. I wonder if it is because of the weather. But I would say something or return them.

Go to the manufacturer's site (quirky-dot-com), look at the colors they're selling there. No match between manufacturer's colors and what's being sold on Amazon. Looks like everything sold on Amazon is knock-offs, but using the manufacturer's name. Seems logical to think the widely-reported terrible smells are because the products being sold are fake. I'd expect Amazon to do something about this.

I never paid much attention till I got this e-mail but they do have an odor. It does not seem like syrup to me but more like some kind of paint. I also bought a 100 pack of Philips and they have almost the same kind of odor. The main thing is that they work.

BUYER BEWARE! Yes, they may have an odor. This is because the product is basically home made. It is made in somebody's backyard. No certified facilities, nothing. Look them up. Google them for yourself. It would not surprise me if the smell you were sensing was mold due to inadequate processing. You just never know, unless your product comes from a name brand and a legitimate lab.
