it's been awhile since I got these, but I don't remember an unbearable stench.

These B vitamins do have an odor - it's normal. I just hold my nose and pop a capsule with no problems. A bright orange-yellow color is also normal. If the capsules develop dark brown spots, a mottled appearance, the capsules are still safe to take but their strength may be degraded. Always check the use-by date on the bottom of the bottle, and keep them in a cool, dry place. (Note: your bathroom cabinet is NOT a dry place.)

Mine are the same. I'm throwing them out. I wouldn't take anything that doesn't look right and this last bottle definitely doesn't look right.

Hmm. Odd yellow color yes, but not sure about the stench. I don't remember anything too bad. Do they have their clear plastic capsules?

Mine are also yellow! There is a smell, but it's not to strong. As long as you keep them enclosed and maybe put them in a cabinet, you'll be fine.

I've had mine for several months now, no yellowing & they look brand new still. I do keep mine in the case when I'm not using them.

Should we just return the black knock-offs with strong odor? I waited a month for mine. The smell is very invasive.

Mine has a little bit of a funny smell but it is normal, not off putting it is also very light in color. If you feel yours is truly bad then I would call the company you received it from. Did you purchase from the same company? It may vary from company to company. I'm just a customer. Its my first time using it so I am not a expert in this field.

They do have a strong odor when you open the package. I left mine in the garage for a few days and that helped. There is still an odor but you have to be right near to notice it.

the packaging may contribute to the odor. I am extremely sensitive to synthetic odors. You may not have that problem. Best wishes

No, that is not normal. Mine did not have a burning smell. You might want to contact the seller.

The seller gives you their latest batch and I remember I did not have any issues as far as the expiration dates are concerned. But just to give you the heads up, the yellow which was rated by the manufacturer as their brightest product, is not that REALLY bright. The green ones are far better IMHO.

Greetings Y. Tang. Yes it is normal for them to have a slight smell to them. However, it isn't unpleasant. If the odor you smell is too strong or you feel is not normal, I would suggest contacting the manufacturer with your concerns and see if there is anything they can do for you. I hope this helped. :-) Be blessed.

I washed before I used and did not notice any unusual smell. Also after reading your question, I went and smell them. I still did not notice anything.

Mine also smelled horrible. I didn't wash them, but left them to air out. It took about a month before they didn't stink.

Mine just came and it has a horrendous chemical smell. Will update in a week or two and let you know if it persists.

mine has no smell to them. I throw them in the wash with my whites and they come out nice and clean. I think I may have bought the wrong kind though. The last ones I had had a foam backing to them and these don't. If anyone knows which ones i'm talking about please let me know so I can buy the right ones.

They are supposed be green I would contact the seller and try sending them back

Mine seemed to smell fine - so I'm not sure what you're experiencing is normal for the manufacturer. I'd consider asking for an exchange to confirm it's not something off on that unit. Just my $0.02 :-)

I have never noticed a smell with them. Are you hand washing them? Maybe try scrubbing with a little baking soda and see if that helps.

It sounds like wherever you got them from, they were stored improperly and we exposed to something. Mine came from Amazon and they do not have any significant smell. The way to get the smell gone (or reduced) is to use a mild cleaner with 1-2% of Murphy's Oil or Pinesol and warm water and a cloth. Rub them down and let them sit outside in direct sunlight...hope that helps.
