Do the vinyl dipped chains have a new plastic smell?

Frankly, I opened the product outside and hung it immediately. I did not detect any unusual or of noxious odors. It remains hanging where I put it on day one. No plastic smell that I detected. Just as an aside I weigh 210 pounds and It did support me on an old swingset frame. Just for what it's worth. But no plastic smell

I don't remember if they did when I opened the box. I just went out there and there's no smell but they've been outside about three weeks. Hope that helps...

A little bit, but one you remove packaging it airs out fast. Harder plastic doesn't seem to hold any scents.

Ours did not have an unpleasant odor when we received it. Smelt like the typical plastic, rubber item. Maybe to speed up the process of getting rid of the smell let it soak in a strong fragrant soap? Hope this helps you out.

I don't remember having this problem. I have had this for over a year and I don't smell the plastic smell. I love this little heater. Works as well as it did the first day we bought it!

When you first take them out of the vinyl bag there's a bit of a plastic smell but the rollers themselves have no odor. There certainly is no fragrance that I can detect either.

Mine did not have any smell at all. Not even the scent of the plastic wrap or anything.

I just put my nose to it and it has a slight vannilla odor. Not plastic smelling at all.

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.

Yeah mine smelled too. Sort of like fake leather/mothball. I've had them since August and yes, they do still smell, but I have to say, less so than in the beginning and more tolerable.

I have found that all new plastic products have at least a slight plastic smell when you first open them. This product is no different. It's not bad at all.

I didn't notice any smell but I'd also guess it might have been from the plastic packaging if they smelled anything. Some people are, well, looking for things like this to a degree of neurosis. I just went and cut open a fresh pack and there is no discernible odor.

Yeah, it's a funky out of the box plasticy smell. It took about a week of use, for me, and it went away.

They just smell like regular plastic to me. But if you're asking if they are overly smelly, then no.

just use a vacuume, do not run them under water it can ruin them, the new plastic smell should be gone in like a week or so

Not that I can tell. I have three. I'm sure thru manufacturing there may be a slight plastic smell, but it dispates quickly .

I ordered a set in August. They didnt have the plastic smell you probably expect. I put the set in the car the day they were delivered without airing out. No issues.
