Ugh! It reeks like a paint pen! (which stinks b/c it feels SO comfortable!) I'm airing it out with the cover off for a couple days as suggested below and I'll report back regarding the smell!

I did not like this myself, I do not know if this is from the same seller, but when I received there was a horrible smell, so I contacted the seller, and found out they only accepted returns if it was defective. so it was a big to do, and would of cost more to send it back thank, because I had to pay restocking fee, and plus postage. so I threw it away, hope this helps

Can't say that I had this experience, but I would not be concerned. Everyone has different sensitivities to smell, but I can tell you I have had mine installed for the past two months, and it is great....would highly recommend this product.

So I just got one this week and mine had a very strong smell, so much so that it's in another room hoping to get rid of it... It has the rubber smell that the floor of a gym has which makes me think it's not going to go away. Not sure if I want to wait it out or return it at this point.

Mine smells pretty bad but I let it air out about a week before I put it on the bed now I don't notice any smell but it is definitely not very soft

Mine arrived without any smell. I suggest contacting the manufacturer to ask for advice. Alternatively, try using a white vinegar and water solution to clean it out.

Mine didn't have the smell, either. When it was brand-new, it had one of those "new" product smell a little but it went away fast.

Mine didn't smell at all. Possibly an extremely faint rubber smell due to the material it is made of? But it is supper subtle (I am very sensitive to smells and don't really detect anything).

Not sure, maybe it's old? Mine did not and doesn't smell bad now. Good luck.

Mine smelled funny the first time or two. Be sure to move it out from any walls so it has plenty of vent room. I've had mine since Xmas and it doesn't smell anymore. I think it might have something to do with the fans because it only smelled when I used the convection oven.

I always use thus and it should be very light with little to no smell. I would return it if I were you. Do you mind telling us which Seller you bought this from? I just bought a new one myself and it's fine. Just wanna make sure I stay away from whoever you bought from. :-)

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.

Julie, I think the product smell is very light and not at all unpleasant. Could it be you got an out-of-date or defective product?

Mine had an odd smell when I got it, didn't really associate it with lighter fluid, but still... It now smells like my perfume and breath mints (the main scents in my purse). It quit smelling odd in less than a week. If it persists, I'd recommend just washing the rubber part with dish washing soap. Hope this helps.

Personally, I would exchange it. When I first opened the package, mine had zero smell to it. Absolutely none. Which is exactly what we're paying so much extra money for, right?! I would assume there's something wrong with yours. I absolutely love mine.

I have never had mine emit this smell, so I would recommend you check to make sure you took all the adhesive film off all the surfaces. If you have already done that, then I would send it back if you can.
