Does the product smell strongly of plastic when you first open it? If so, does that scent wear off?

No, I can't say it's had any odor since I opened the pkge and put it in my small closet. I would have noticed pretty quickly if there was any kind of smell. Hope this helps!

Mine does not have any obvious smell to it. This was my first time using it so I have nothing else to compare it to.

It does have a bit of a strong odor when first opened, but it doesn't last. I have had mine for several months and like it a lot.

It smells new when you first open it, but I didn't notice anything that stuck around.

I got no smell.. but I would think that is is not totally un common... if there was any residual oil or other substance on the plastic it will burn off.. it should stop after a short time... good luck..

Yes... Once removed from mfr plastic packaging, smell dissipates after a couple days.

It is some kind of heavy plastic but I bought 3 and did not notice a smell at all. Hope this helps. :)

hmm... mine had no lingering odor at all. smelled new, but nothing else, and I'm quite sensitive to that distinct "plastic" smell!

Mine had a very very very faint plastic smell, not an odor. A day after setting it up, it was completely gone. The dog loves it!

I got mine last summer. No I never noticed a bad plastic smell on the one I have. This is all I can tell you though.Susan

I noticed there was a strong plastic smell for the first several days. My nose is not very sensitive but my mom noticed it. I guess that is normal for any of this kind of inflatable chairs. It was Summer when I bought it. I let it sitting in my bedroom and sometimes kept a fan blowing towards me when I was sitting on it. I believe the smell completely went away after maybe 3 or 4 days. I bought this chair for several months now, it is in very good condition and being very helpful to me.

Mine came with two pieces of plastic that hold the lid open just a little. I leave those in when not using so that it can air out a little. I also run it with baking soda every now and then to help absorb the smell. It isn't as strong as it was when it was new but it still has a soft lingering of new smell.

Hi, I opened mine and set it aside to use the next day and it was fine when I started using it. Mine came with plastic wrap so that might be part of it. Anyway it stays in my car and I don't notice any smell.

When I first opened the box there was a strong smell but in a few hours it was gone.

Hi Almost all plastics will off-gas creating a smell when new however I do not recall any strong odor coming from this product. If you are super sensitive and find the smell objectionable, wipe it down with a 50/50 solution of vinegar/water and wipe dry. Keeping it away from heat and out of direct sunlight will also help to minimize any smell. In my opinion, smell will not be a problem with this product.

It smells strongly of plastic, but that's what it's made of sooooo...it does fade over time though.
