Has anyone else had a problem with a strong chemical smell that takes a while to go away?

No, my daughter has not mentioned anything about a strong chemical smell concerning the crib.

Not that I am aware of. I have been using this item for years with no problems. Maybe the smell is from the plastic.

With it being a new item, it may take a little while for the smell to go away. You could probably take a very lightly dampened cloth with fabreeze and wipe it down to see if that helps a little.

I don't think the smell goes away. It's strong huh! I had to return it and get a different case.

Mine has an odd smell while using, too, but I understand that this is normal.

It had a *strong* chemical smell when I unpacked it and as I was assembling it, but 24 hours later it seems to be odorless. If you have a strong reaction to that sort of thing, I'd have a friend unpack it outside or in the garage and then I'd let it air out for a few hours or a day before assembling it.

No I did not get that smell but you may want to try some baking soda in a bowl and leave it in there for awhile.

Have you been able to find out what causes the smell and if it is toxic? How long did you keep the first set?

I have that problem too. It is the filter. Once you change the filter the smell goes away. However, it seems like I always have to change the filter!

I had the same experience. As a matter of fact it smelled up the whole house. The chemicals are strong as well. Attempted to return to company. They did not honor the 100 percent warranty. I would advise people to stay away from this company and safety is questionable as well due to the strong odor. Good luck in dealing with them.

I have never had that problem, however, bad smells have always been easy to eradicate with a baking soda solution.

I had the same problem. I turned it on high setting and quickly turned it off when I smelled something burning. The next day, I turned it to low, then medium, then high setting with no problem. Not sure where the smell comes from.

I received mine today and it has a VERY strong odor. Which, is making the headache that I got this product to help with, much worse.

I have no clue. After a bit the smell does go away, or maybe I have just gotten used to it.

The smell is a bit strong initially, especially if you leave it in a hot car. It goes away. I've had mine for about a year and I don't notice it anymore.

Mine smelled like some kind of plastic/chemical for a day or so but then it went away quickly.

Yes my battery has a weird smell. Sort of like bad plastic Kind of smell. So it has been there for a while. And it will not go away. I don't know if this is normal or not. Maybe it is normal for bad quality batteries or bad quality plastic
