Did anyone else who bought this find the product smelled horribly when you first bought it?

It did when I first got it, but took it out of the package and let it air out, it was fine. Only smell if close To it.

It smelled pretty weird, but after a while I faded. I only smell it now if I put my face really close as try to smell

Yep, that is a perfect description of the smell, which has existed from day one taking it out of the box. I tried febreeze and sitting it outside in the sun for two days to see if UV rays could kill, and if anything the smell got worse. I finally just threw it away after owning it for about a month. Sorry that doesn't help, but I just wanted you to know you aren't alone!

I would send it back and ask them to replace it, but call first. I just smelled mine and I wouldn't call it good smelling either....

Nope -- purchased in mid-2014. Odor was unbelievably strong when opened. Aired it out in open space of a spare room for several months. Not only did it not get rid of the overwhelmingly strong chemical smell, it made the entire room stink instead! Threw it out, room took days to stop smelling after I threw it out!

I haven't. It smelled terrible, was heavily dyed, and did not last even 4 weeks.

Yes. It had a strong smell. After using it a couple of times, it irritated my skin.

Mine may have had a little smell to it when first opened but it was only briefly. I put it in my car in the summer (southern state) and it did not smell anymore nor did it transfer any smell to my car.

I also have had this experience. I have been buying this for years from Amazon and a local organic grocer. I agree that both the smell and taste is awful and I am considering changing brands. Even returned one because I thought something was wrong with it, but the replacement is the same. I would love to know what has been altered. I have a fairly high tolerance, but this is really bad.

So did mine. It was kind of disconcerting breathing in who knows what. After several weeks of use the new chemical smell gradually went away.

Since I returned the bottle I got after a couple of uses and got a refund, I can't say. To me, the stuff smelled horrible, was sticky, and turned me orange. I can only imagine it would do the same a year later.

No. I bought 2 for myself and was so happy I bought 2 for my boyfriend and neither order did we notice a smell. I know the smell you speak of because I've bought toppers and a memory foam bed.

I had the same issue, the smell was horrible, I did put in the washer and put in Downy, smell almost gone. I bought at a trade show, if I would have opened the little bag, probably not bought

It's been a while but I washed and dried mine before I used it the first time because it smelled "new." Once it's been washed and dried it won't be as small as it was in the original package.

I've never had this issue. It has always smelled fine. They shouldn't send you and expired product. I would send it back...

To me it smelled like formaldehyde. After letting it air like the instruction suggested, the smell disappeared. I have never smelled an odor since I started using it..

My pillow absolutely REEKED when I first received it. Seemed way worse then most people are reporting, maybe it was a fresh batch of foam or something but the smell lingered for more than a few days. Even six months later if I stick my face in it I can smell it. That being said I'm sure sticking it in the wash would help rid the pillow of its chemical stench right away and after the smell was gone/tolerable I really liked the pillow.
