Does it smell like chemicals? The last one I bought (different brand) smelled real strong. I had trouble getting past that.

I have been wearing it on really long runs, some days to work, and to the gym for the past month or so and it still has not smelled like chemicals. I wear it directly on my skin or with a tank top underneath. Hope that helps!

Did you just get it? I've had the purple one and had mine for a while, but I don't remember it having a strong smell when I first received it. I remember the typical new rubber smell, but it wasn't strong. It's fine now.

I bought two of them in the past two years. I didn't remember the strong smell like you sensed. I am not sure if the smell is from new paint.

I've been using this product for years and while it has a strong scent, I haven't found it acidic and it always dissipates when I rinse it out of my hair. Maybe you have a defective batch? I would contact the seller.

I think initially it has a plastic-y smell when I first opened it but I haven't notice a chemical smell since. Been using it for a while now, it is in the dog bowl outside. Sorry I'm not going to sniff it

Hello. No, I have never noticed a chemical smell at all. So far I have been very happy with this product and have not had any negative issues with it. I hope this helps.

Mine never smelled so I suspect yours.may have been accidentally exposed to something. I should tell you that I am very sensitive to smells, especially of chemical origin. I would return it.

Hi Christa, I don't remember how I came to the conclusion to go ahead and purchase it, but I always research thoroughly as my husband is EXTREMELY chemically sensitive, and we have had it for months and he has loved it and it never had any kind of a chemical smell from the moment it arrived. I hope this helped.

Mine has this terrible smell too! It stank up the house and now it's outside stinking up my patio. I would describe it more as formaldehyde. Just return it, that's what I'm doing. This is going nowhere near my eye.

Yes -a very strong industrial solvent smell! I heated it on the highest setting (without toast, under the exhaust fan of my stove) and the smell went away after 3 cycles.

Not positive on the chemicals...it has Calcium Carbonate (A Natural Base), Malodor Counteractant. and it does have a perfume scent... very flowery, imo it smells really nice. I use it very sparingly because it is quite strong.

Eventually if you keep it outside! We had ours first in the porch and then in the basement. The whole room smelled for a long time. It's been several months and now that it is stored outside I cannot smell it anymore. It was really strong for a while. I've read you can wash with soap and water which admittedly I never tried.

It doesn't have a smell at all really in my opinion(and I can have a sensitivity to smells, chemicals, etc). I've had mine for about a year now, but I think when I first opened it there was a vague plastic smell, but nothing overwhelming. When you are using it, I don't notice a smell.

No, I haven't noticed any chemical smell to it. I have a pretty good nose, so I think if there was something, I would have noticed. Hope that helps.

The unit I bought definitely puts off a plastic chemical smelling odor and it has not gone away. I have 3 other heaters that are different brands and none smell like this. I am going to get rid of this model and replace it.

Mine never had a really strong odor. There was a slight odor, but not an unpleasant one, for the first week or so but none that I've noticed since then. I think it just needed to air out a little. Now it just smells like leather.

I find it hard to believe I purchased the same item as was purchased by the people answering this question. There is a definitely a smell - kind of like a strong plastic smell, which is there even when the unit is not turned on (and just gets stronger when it is). Granted, I've only had this for about 5 days, so hopefully it will go away.
