I received this, took it out of package and it has a very strong chemical smell. Has anyone else had this problem? Does it air out after a few days?

Hi, I opened mine and set it aside to use the next day and it was fine when I started using it. Mine came with plastic wrap so that might be part of it. Anyway it stays in my car and I don't notice any smell.

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.

Not at all. Mine had no strange order. I love this. My cat fits comfortably.

My wife uses it EVERY day and trustme if it had a smell it would be gone. Now being made out of plastic and new it probably would have to have some sort of new smell when new. Take it out of package and let it sit for a week you should be good to go ,and by the way she loves it.

Mine never had a really strong odor. There was a slight odor, but not an unpleasant one, for the first week or so but none that I've noticed since then. I think it just needed to air out a little. Now it just smells like leather.

Mine puffed out by itself after opening it. It smells for about 48 hours. Love it now. Most comfortable pillow I have ever owned.

yes ours does smell pretty bad but you can only smell it if you put it up to your nose otherwise you can't smell it. If the product smell bothers yout I think putting it outside to air out for a week would help.

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 am maybe more sensitive to chemicals than most people, and unfortunately, I would say after letting it air for 2 days, that there is still a very unpleasant smell. I put a mattress cover on top of it, but I still notice a very unpleasant smell. I don't notice it until I am in bed, where it's very close to my face.

Did you just get it? I've had the purple one and had mine for a while, but I don't remember it having a strong smell when I first received it. I remember the typical new rubber smell, but it wasn't strong. It's fine now.

It definitely does out of the package. Not after a good airing out though. There was no more smell within a couple weeks.

I noticed there was a strong plastic smell for the first several days. My nose is not very sensitive but my mom noticed it. I guess that is normal for any of this kind of inflatable chairs. It was Summer when I bought it. I let it sitting in my bedroom and sometimes kept a fan blowing towards me when I was sitting on it. I believe the smell completely went away after maybe 3 or 4 days. I bought this chair for several months now, it is in very good condition and being very helpful to me.

I noticed it too, I only own it for about a day or two. I will give it a week or two max before returning it. No way I can live with this smell, it smells like brand new plastic x1000.

I have never had mine emit this smell, so I would recommend you check to make sure you took all the adhesive film off all the surfaces. If you have already done that, then I would send it back if you can.

Mine did the opposite, it actually had an odor of it's own like REALLY REALLY REALLY bad body odor. Cleaning it as per the instructions did nothing to help, but leaving it on for a week seems to have eliminated the odor it was spreading throughout the house :S

I've had no issues with the odor. I barely notice the "plastic smell" most people comment on. I have a friend who also uses one and his does not smell either. I took mine apart and put it through the dishwasher before ever using it. Now, I wash it off with rubbing alcohol between uses, and as I said, I never smell the plastic. I hope that helps... Good luck.

The smell is bad, but it goes away quickly in a well ventilated area. My suggestion would be to fluff it daily and turn it over daily until the smell dissipates.

Yes, it does have an odor for a few days. I laid it out in my guest room to relax after unpacking it, and after the 3rd day, most of the odor was gone. Once it's on the bed and it's made, there is NO odor noticeable at all. I'm very sensitive to odors, and this was a big concern of mine. But, it worked out so well in our camper, I just ordered one for our bed at home too.
