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.

Mine had a slight odor, but it went away quickly after it fluffed up (within a few days).

Hello, same thing happened to me. But I think it's becaues the bean bags were decompressed and possibly put in a storage facility for quite a while. Anyway, the only option is to just air it out outside (with a cardboard underneath the chair to keep it from getting dirty) or open up all the windows in a room where the Fuf chair will be. It said on the website that you should only spot clean your Fuf chair, so taking out the foam and trying to wash the fabric would not be recommended unless you ordered the liner with it. https://www.beanbaguniverse.com/FAQ.aspx (that site answers a lot of questions) Hello, same thing happened to me.

Haul it outside in the sun...bring it in at night and do not let it get wet...that worked for me. The smell does go away...

Had no smell on mine. How could it smell so bad through a plastic bag, and cardboard box as to offend a ups driver? If it is that bad send it back!

The smell can be a product being new, fresh off the production line type of thing (like that "new car" smell). Mine had a slight smell, not too terrible but it was gone one I did a quick hand wash with a mild shampoo and wiped down the handles with a makeup remover wipe. I also hand washed and air dried the pouch and the smell was gone from that too.

I did not have that problem. It maybe the smell of the rubber/plastic compound that it's made of after being enclosed in it packaging. It should dissipate within a couple of days at the most. Otherwise I would contact the manufacturer

We did not have an issue. The smell was reminiscent of a "new product smell" that dissipated once it was no longer new. I would imagine that it might be remedied with a cleaning?

I have had mine for a week and there is a terrible industrial odor. Would not recommend.

I never have. I agree with John Marietta. You should call customer service and talk to them. They need to notify the seller too that you bought these from as maybe they have some contaminated bags since yours have this in them.

Hi Jo,I don't know because out unit does't have those smell.Is it brand new? Maybe that's one of the reasons. Let it work for a while and see how it's gonna happen. If it doesn't change at all, you should send it back soon! Hope this help!

So I just got one this week and mine had a very strong smell, so much so that it's in another room hoping to get rid of it... It has the rubber smell that the floor of a gym has which makes me think it's not going to go away. Not sure if I want to wait it out or return it at this point.

I started using a regular trash bag, but it does not provide much odor protection. I cut the hard plastic top off a refill bag and looped a regular trash bag in its place. I Lysol the whole contraption every so often in order to keep the stinkies under control.

I have zero problems with odor, and I don't even use the baking soda. I only change the bag once a week. You could place a deodorizer inside the door, like Glade or something.

I received mine today and it has a VERY strong odor. Which, is making the headache that I got this product to help with, much worse.

It sounds like you have a problem, either with the particular bag having been exposed to something foul, or your idea of what fine leather should smell like. After living with mine for a couple of months now, I am happy with every aspect: Appearance, smell and product utility. Very well made, luxurious bag.

I think you are using a cheap heating pad, and perhaps an old one. THe cheap ones may still have stiff plastic that smells bad, but a new, reasonably but not cheaply priced pad should not smell bad.

I didn't have any foul odor. I think you need to contact to the seller and exchange for another one. If you cannot return or exchange, then try to dry clean

It's been a while since I received my bag but I don't recall anything offensive. If anything, there might have been a "new" product smell, but if there was, it quickly dissipated. I think if you aired it out, you will find whatever smell will go away and the product is very worthwhile. You'll be happy with it!

Authentic Leather do smell bad.. But mine was not "nauseating". The odor will eventually disappear the longer you use it. Try to spray your favorite perfume inside the bag. The leather will absorb it. Others put some odor absorbent inside their bags. It can be purchased on most stores. Cheers!
