I called Customer Service to return this shirt due to the fact that the fabric had a glue like smell that the wash couldn't remove.

It is a very sturdy item but I have to say I was reserved after reading other reviews about the smell.  My bag  smelled as well and I tried to get rid of it by putting outside all day to see if that would rid the smell.  Tried next the baking soda(2 container) and put them and the organizer in a plastic bag and left that for another wk.  Still smelled-finally broke down and ran it under water and a mild soap and rinsed as best I could and then back outside.  It dried fairly quickly and the smell was almost gone.  Might have to try it again.  Did not try Fabreze as suggested by hubby as I didn't want to spray the item directly and possibly end up with stain or ruined fabric.
Other than that it works great!

Had a funky chemical smell I could not get out even with multiple washings. Ended up in the Goodwill pile :(

The covering on the candle was wrinkled and made it look like it wasn't new. Because it was glued so tightly I wasn't able to take it off to fix it.

This arrived with a strange smell. Something like glue. So we did have to wash it before my daughter could wear it. But after the glue smell was gone we were able to try it on. It fit exactly as it should. The shiny bead part is a very nice eye-catching touch.

My children liked it but we had to thoroughly wash first. There was a very strong chemical smell and it was foul.

The leggings have a terrible smell (like gasoline) that does not seem to go away with washing.

The fabric is has a great deal of sizing in it, had to rinse and dry before I could wear it. Was even better after I washed and dried it. Let at daughter's house in another state so I will not wear often. Would not buy again if I could find a suitable replacement. Fabric has a very strange hand to it.

The pants fitted just right but thy stunk.
There was some chemicals on the material and even the wash did not get it out.

I liked it, and since I knew from the reviews it was somewhat small, I ordered a size larger than normal and it fit great. However it had a horrible smell that I could not get rid of. I tried washing it multiple times, washing it with oxi-clean and sunning, but still the formaldehyde smell was too much to take.

The colors are nice but I am only giving it two stars because of the smell. This has a very VERY strong chemical smell to it. I hung it outside for two days but no improvement. I washed it and hung it outside again for a day. The smell still lingers but not as heavy. Out of the package the smell is so strong it is impossible to be in the same room with this. It is not cotton -- it is polyester fabric.

I had to return this due to the extremely strong smell of chemicals.  I washed it twice in the washing machine, in hopes that the smell of the chemicals would go away but it didn't. I used latex gloves when I handled it.  If you value your health, don't buy this!

This doll is super cute and I loved the idea of being able to wash it since I knew my toddler would love it and want to take it everywhere with her. However, when I opened the package, a horribly strong perfume baby powder smell took over my entire 2 bedroom apartment. My two year old loved this doll and wanted to sleep with it but I couldn't let her because I was worried she wouldn't be able to breathe due to the smell. It took my breathe away. I decided to wash it the day after I gave it to her since it's apparently so washable and I was hoping to get rid of the horrible smell. I washed it on delicate in cold water when she was napping. When I went to take it out of the washing machine, all of the stuffing had come out and she was decapitated. I had to run to the store and get a new doll (Melissa and Doug this time). Do not buy this doll. It smells terribly and cannot be washed. I recommend a Mellisa and Doug doll. She loves it just as much and it barely has a scent. It cannot be machine washed but at least they have proper care instructions.

This is a very nice pattern, but not so good fabric. After the first wash I found 2 holes in the comforter. And it also had a nasty factory smell to it. It took a lot of frebreez and fabric softener to get the smell out.
