Does it have a chemical smell, roughly like WD-40 and armpit stink, even faint, and if so, do you feel ill from it?

Buy the Targus 4-Port Hub, Black/Gray (ACH114US) available on Amazon. It works much better. It has no odor that I could detect. Targus 4-Port Hub, Black/Gray (ACH114US)

To me it smelled like formaldehyde. After letting it air like the instruction suggested, the smell disappeared. I have never smelled an odor since I started using it..

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.

Yes. It had a strong smell. After using it a couple of times, it irritated my skin.

I've sprayed it in a cellar and left it for a day. When I brought it back into my closet, I could smell it for perhaps another day. Same using it outdoors...a day or so of residual odor. I don't think the smell is awful, just odd.

I don't notice a bad smell either. Sorry I am not much help either. I guess I am used to the smell and it goes away pretty quick after you put it on.

It may have a slight odor and I don't notice it especially after massaged into the skin. I am very sensitive to odor so that would be my assessment.

I haven't noticed much of a smell and I am very sensitive to smells. There is a mild smell when you open in, but it doesn't linger on the body.

YES... it smells horrible. I have to keep washing my mouse hand to make the smell go away. We'll see if the smell dissipates with time.

No, it does not have a bad or strong smell. I took off the lid yesterday and mine smells like lotion. I'm not sure how well the product works because I have only used it two times.

I detected no odor . However my sense of smell is somewhat lacking so I'm not the best judge of that question. No problem with heat either.It's been quite comfortable for me.

Not that I could smell, though my nose is terrible. I got it for my father who has a great nose and didn't complain a bit about any smell; the towels get very warm, still to this day.

It's kind of a strange, metallic, citrus scent. I saw some reviews say mint, but I didn't get that at all. I don't care much for the scent, but it doesn't make me feel ill or anything like that.

I can't say that mine had that kind of an odor to it when it arrived but it did have somewhat of a chemical smell that lingered for a day or so but went away rather quickly. I assumed it may have been from being stored in some place with some type of chemical. But mine didn't have that strong of an smell, just a kind of harsh new processed plastic chemical smell, if you know what I mean. And like I said, it faded away within a day or so. Sorry, that's probably not much help... :(

I have also noticed a "chemical smell"...kind of like kerosine. My whole living room reeks of it. I'm a little sad since my guinea pigs have used carefresh for the last year and a half with no trouble.

No, it's very mild and doesn't have a chemical or medicine-like smell/feel.

I'm not a medical expert. I've left it on low and been home. I have asthma and was in a place that was really making me sick before using the unit. Now 4 months later I haven't had 1 attack and feel better. I accidentally left it on high when at home for a couple hours and felt funny, made my sinuses way too dry. Didn't do that again. Hope that helps.
