Has the maker worked on the chemical odor? How are these now compared to a couple of years ago? TIA!

With my pillow there is no chemical odor; however, I wouldn't recommend this particular style pillow. I would stick with the traditional style pillow. This particular style is hard/stiff and not comfortable. I tried removing some of the hulls but that didn't help much either.

I have had mine for over a year and there has never been an odor. I agree with the other poster, these are not comfortable and I don't use them.

I have had this pillow for several weeks and have not notices a chemical odor. I usually aren't bothered by odors like my wife is, however she has not mentioned it to me.

I've purchased three ONA bags in recent months and haven't noticed any odors from any of them...maybe you can swap it out.

I have never noticed a smell with them. Are you hand washing them? Maybe try scrubbing with a little baking soda and see if that helps.

Mine also smelled horrible. I didn't wash them, but left them to air out. It took about a month before they didn't stink.

I did not experience any odors in the ones I bought. I would return them if there were any smells in a silicon product.

The smell is not a problem to me, it goes away quickly. For a washer or dryer they should work pretty good. I was using them for a roof-mounted air conditioning unit and they helped a lot.

Yes, we had 2 and both did smell when they first arrived, kind of mixed things in a warehouse. We left them out in the garage for a month or two prior to use them. Later, we did not experience any smell. Or perhaps we were used to it??? Now we do not need them but keep them just for camping. Good luck!

I just had the same problem with my last order (11/13). They smell AWFUL. Now that I see someone else had the same problem, I am going to contact the company.

Yeah mine smelled too. Sort of like fake leather/mothball. I've had them since August and yes, they do still smell, but I have to say, less so than in the beginning and more tolerable.

I haven't used them in a long time. I didn't like the gassy smell. sorry. I don't recall them not lasting long.

I did not detect any odor when I unpacked mine. And I usually have a good sense of smell. One could always spray them with Febreze, if there were to be a slight odor.

A family I know said that the first times they used the straws the water tasted chemical but that it's pretty much gone now. I don't know how long they've been using them for. I know they got these personal straws last year.

Have had no problems with bad odors after any use. But you can always try baking soda, hydrogen peroxide or vinegar (just one of those) if you have odor issues.

To be honest, we haven't noticed any chemical odor. I'm in my late 50's and my ability to smell is not as good as it used to be but my wife has not said anything about a smell. By the way - we both like this product very much.

Very easy, wash them in a little dish soap and warm water...rinse thoroughly and let dry before using again. I also recommend washing before first use as well, to remove the chemicals and slight odor.

Mine do not and did not smell. Have used them many times over without a problem.

I wash them with All or Tide. Add a bit of oxyclean. I use normal cycle. No problems with odor after they are dried.
