I just recieved my Give A Hoot shower curtain and noticed a very strong plastic smell, like you would expect with a PVC shower curtain. Yes, this is the same cotton curtain pictured here on Amazon, but I'm guessing that the smell is due to the print...

I never noticed any smell when I received it. I have had it over a year now and after washing it yesterday I checked and it smells like my laundry soap. I would give it a wash that should work.

I believe it's the same material but a little thicker for obvious reasons. If you're concerned about smell, there is none of that cheap plastic smell.

Ours smelled like new plastic for the first couple days but the smell faded quick. Everything that could went through the dishwasher on steam setting and the entire thing got wiped down with lysol wipes.

Yes, that is what I got. I would not recommend it though. The fabric is not nice, can't get synthetic smell out.

The first couple of times that I used mine, it had a strong smell of burning plastic as well. It has definitely faded over time though.

I didn't find that it had any significant smell, being more of a canvas material than proper plastic any "new" smell disappears quickly and I never found it a problem :)

What is happening is VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) are off-gassing or releasing from the plastic water tank. I recently purchased a barely used B150 and I noticed a strong PVC smell and plastic taste to my mochas. The smell comes directly from the tank and no where else. Now I know why someone sent this brand new unit back. Did a little research and this seems to be widespread. Currently I've left the water tank empty, lid off and the unit ON. The PVC smell in my kitchen is STRONG in the air. I'm going to let it off-gas for a couple of days and run 40 oz of straight Heinz White Vinegar through it. Several people have reported success doing that. I've also ordered a new 'pour over' tank from Keurig to replace the direct line one that doesn't have a grip inside for removal. Mine is no where near a water source and I wanted the 12 oz cup option with a pour over tank. I'll let you know how the new tank smells when I open it. I hope to rid the existing tank of the plastic smell as much as humanly possible and hope the new Keurig direct tank is a different plastic manufacture.

plastic material similar to pool rings and arm floats. It has the same strong smell as pool floating toys when you open it that takes quite a long time to go away. Hope this helps!

I just took a closer look at it and there isn't plastic, but it is hemmed towards the front for use in a shower, so water doesn't collect and mildew. I would definitely buy them because the material in pretty and has a really nice hand. If they do show under your curtains you could easily turn them around or re-hem. You gave me a great idea for the future.

We have not noticed any plastic smell. I must say that we have a large room so it may not be that apparent it the smell is not too intense.

The smell is very strong but it goes away with time. I ordered two different bags and the one from Sleepypod smelled like plastic. I decided to go with it, though, because it's super nice and sturdy. The smell was OK after a month. I also washed the inside pad's cover to speed up the process.

Jana, It is plastic, and more see through, I think, than the photo shows because it is not as heavy feeling as the one I have in my bathroom. The one they have hanging in the picture almost looks like it could be two shower curtains back to back, because the one they sent is definitely clear plastic expect where the sea shells and stars are placed some of which are very yellow, not as pictured at all. Good luck with your purchase. They sent it quickly so the customer service in that regard was good. It's the return to China that gets way too much.

As soon as I received mine, I washed mine with dish soap and air dried it. There's no lingering plastic smell... at least on mine.

I purchased for detox and skin softening, so I tried it in my bath right after opening the jar. I was not expecting the strong "fishy" ocean smell (silly me). It is truly reminiscent of the sea. My skin was itching after bathing, not sure if that's normal from a detox effect; will try again and see how it goes.
