Does anyone else's ball smell? My hevea teethers do not smell, but this really does!

Yes! Smells super strong! Not just a rubber smell, too, sort of a sweet vanilla smell which is kind of weird. I wonder if it absorbed a smell of something it was stored with? The other 100% rubber toys we have bought were way less stinky...

Mine did not smell. But I purchased the frog and it did. I sent it back. I also purchased another item, a chew chocolate bar. Smelled strong of plastic but I liked it so much I thought I'd try and wash it first. That worked. Turned out it was the packaging was the problem.

Ours just smells like natural rubber, which to us is good news because we know nothing artificial has been added. The baby seems drawn to it, so I'm guessing she likes the faint smell, or at least it's neutral to her. The main appeal seems to be how easily she can grasp it, compared to some of the other teethers we tried.

I'm usually very sensitive to any smells, but I didn't notice a smell when I opened the box. Or, if I did, it must not have been very strong and I didn't think much about it. If I were you, I would wash an item and see if it still smells. If it does, I would return it. I think some of them smell and some don't. You're not the first person to mention it. Maybe it depend on how long the pieces get to "air out" before they're packaged...

Hi Carol....not sure...I wound up buying new ones from King Arthur Flour.No smell with theirs, but they were a lot more expensive. Thanks for your question as I assume it is an attempt to get to the bottom of my problem? But there was another person who noted a plastic smell on their corn bread. Maybe I got a bad batch?

I use have used these the last few years and have not had the same problem. I just opened the box I have at home and it has no odor. I don't have an answer of why yours is so pungent. (Bad batch?mildew?)

I know. That happened to me too. I soaked them in hot water with dish-washing soap for an hour. Washed them thoroughly and dried them. I have had to repeat the procedure a second time. Now there is no smell. The effort is worth it. The product is great. I just got out some leftover smoothie that I had frozen in one and ate it out of a bowl like ice-cream. Hope this helps

Some of them have and some of them haven't. I have purchased many sets from this line. Some have kind of a new toy smell I'd call it that goes away. I'm pretty sensitive to smells and it's never been bothersome to me. I think the ones I noticed it the most had the cereal bowl or the mac n cheese bowl I think because of the glue. I think it also may depend on weather conditions in shipping or something like that because some reviewers seems to notice more smell on the same sets then others. I hope this helped. Still hands down my favorite play food

Heya Noah, as with any new rubber-vinyl product, such as a kid's pool or air mattress, there will be some odor upon first opening the package. I did not find any offensive smell, really, but go ahead and inflate it, and let it air for an hour or so, outside if you must.....I just found that mine had a new product, clean smell. So hope that helps. Any chemical smell will subside shortly, in my experience, and it's not even that "bad". I have purchased several of INTEX's mattresses and have been delighted with the products. Best of luck, and enjoy your very well made mattress. kk voicebender.com Heya Noah, as with any new rubber-vinyl product, such as a kid's pool or air mattress, there will be some odor upon first opening the package.

Mine never had a rubbery smell, per se - it was actually more of a kind of cake-y smell right when we unfurled it, and then it went away as soon as we put sheets on the bed.

The one I got did not have a smell to it. I have some memory foam pillows that did smell when I first got them but they no longer have that odor.

...nope, no plastic smell here either! I know/hate that odor. perhaps you got a defective one?

I did notice an odor at all not did my kids or husband. However, I was not "smelling" for one so we may not be sensitive to it. I do know what you mean especially when the box opens.

We haven't noticed a smell different than any other plastic/rubber dog toy. The smell is similar to some of the hard plastic dental hygiene chews. In fact, it smells better than most. Over the three weeks we've had it, the out of the package smell has diminished greatly. The treats themselves have a strong smell but again like any dog treat.

Ours had no rubber, or very very little. I don't remember a smell and we hd jr indoors at first. But that was 4 years ago....nothing's change. Sorry I couldn't help. Maybe a car wash :)

It's been a while but no, I do not remember any smell from this. I have a few other supps my shelf that smell horrible, but no, not this one. Does it have something from the sea? Usually that makes for a strong odor. Let me know if you notice a difference. I feel a lot better but tried so many supps & foods that I can't be sure of the reason I feel better. I am trying a new one now as even though I feel better I still have that creaking in my right knee. It doesn't hurt but that sound scares me.
