Beth I do not think in any way the odor is offesive. I have used 3 of them in the last five years. They smell like a outdoor nylon parka. Or no noticable smell at all. Thanks Ted

I did not smell any oder from them. I was just very upset that alot of the bags were stuck together/sealed together and unusable.

I don't recall having to do that with any of the ones I got and they were sealed in plastic, but I guess if the beads are already indicating they are wet then I would.

I have just started using them and have not noticed any odor. The only issue has been they don't work effectively with sheets because they become trapped inside the sheets and can't bounce around.

There should be no odor at all. I've ordered many bars from Amazon with no problem. I would return them.

It does have a odor, but the only time I notice it is in the box they come in. When I put them out I do not notice it.

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.

Diana, I have to tell you that I didn't notice any bad smell at all. They smelled a very little like rubber at first, but why wouldn't they. I don't notice anything at this point. There was nothing annoying in the smell as far as I was concerned. It could be that some people are much more sensitive to some smells than others, like those that really can't tolerate some perfumes, etc.. I hope this helps. I will also mention for others as well, that I thought the yellow color was kind of neat and not garish at all.

I did not detect any odor when I unpacked mine. And I usually have a good sense of smell. One could always spray them with Febreze, if there were to be a slight odor.

They smell a little like rubber but, not to the point of throwing them out. I do air them out after every wear.

They don't smell I bought after the soft ball I don't care for the hard one. Maxi store had the soft one this one I gave away I HOPE THIS HELPS

The one I received didn't smell... what are you referring to? I mean it is just inexpensive vinyl clued on pressboard....perhaps you have a sensitivity to the materials I do not.

I'm not sure. The bags are soft and I use them for bread. There isn't any odor to them as there is with a polypropylene trash bag. I like them!

I really never smelled mine, but didn't notice a smell coming from them.. but they work great for burning music to them.. I have ordered them several times.... and will order them again when I need them..

I haven't noticed any odors. I use these ALL THE TIME - and everyone loves them. I've never had any bad feedback. The only thing I've noticed is that the inside of the cups become somewhat discolored eventually - but nothing bad.

I've purchased three ONA bags in recent months and haven't noticed any odors from any of them...maybe you can swap it out.
