We love this wagon! Didn't have any issues with a strong smell and we're sensitive to that. Also ordered as a gift for a friend who equally loves it :)

We noticed no smell whatsoever! Had the wagon for awhile now and no problems or complaints!

I didn't notice any unusual or strong smell at all from the wagon we received. I would have no hesitance to order the same unit again, if needed. Perhaps the one we got was an exception, but it certainly had no strange or unwanted smells. I think it's a great item.

My husband put the wagon together and neither of us remember any strong smell. I am very sensitive to any chemical smell, but I didn't put it together. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I gave both my grandsons this wagon when they turned one and played with them both numerous times. I and their parents have never smelled anything. Now, a year later, both boys still love their wagons and still no smell. I have friends who also bought this wagon and no report of any smell. Perhaps there was a bad batch for some?

It did have a bit of a rubber smell initially, but it went away fairly fast.

I think it's just the processed cheap tire smell. I have it for 6 months now and smell was gone after couple weeks of use during my move. I still use it occasionally and its hidden behind a guest bed in a room right now. There is absolutely no smell of it in the room right now.

Danie. Mine did not smell, however, you may have a nose like my wife who can literally smell things way before anyone else. You may have this sensitive smell and since rubber has a petroleum base, you may be ultra sensitive to it. If, after a few days the smell doesn't go away on its own, you may have to return it for a hard plastic version from another vendor. Don't despair. If the smell doesn't go away, let the vendor know you have to return it...or Amazon.

It is really strong smelling. It is being sprayed in a small contained area which compounds the problem. If using it again I would use goggles and a mask when spraying it. It worked really well and is standing up under heavy use.

I don't know. I just know it smelled really, really strong (gassy odor). Its been sitting open in the garage for the past two weeks and the odor is just about gone. I wouldn't buy it again. And I would suggest that if you buy it as a gift, you get it far enough in advance you can open it up and let it air out for several weeks before giving it.

It does initially. In my case, my new bottle smelled like rubber for less than a week and then the smell disappeared as I used it regularly. But its not unbearable super strong rubber stench. well, I'm on to my second one, that says something. :)

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. It has a rubbery smell, but I didn't keep mine long enough to see if the smell dissipates over time.

Yes buts it's heavier than described. And the rubber smell will funk up your clothing :(

I don't recall it having a strong odor. If it had a smell at all it was very minimal. I'll check again this evening when I'm home and reply back for certain.

I've had no smells of any sort with mine. I would bet your rubber smell goes away as they air out. Hope this helps.

I washed it in my washing machine, let it soak a bit to try to get out the strong rubber odor. Then I let it air dry. It helped a lot!

The tires are rubber, and smell like tires. It's a strong smell. I keep mine out on my patio because of the odor.

Not sure, the smell isn't very noticeable. It's more of a strong rubber smell

Yes, really strong smell from the styrofoam. Going to sit it outside to see if that helps.

It has a very strong, distinct smell. I can't describe it because there's nothing else like it. Whoever said it has no smell, should get their sniffer checked! :)
