Has anyone noticed that the ball smells like mothballs?

I bought two different styles and both smell like moth balls. I am trying to decide if I should take them back or run them through the dishwasher and hope it goes away.

Not really no. There was a small smell when you first opened the box from the packaging but it wasn't very strong and was gone very very quickly.

We got them for GKs for Christmas & we all played alot over vacation, never noticing an odor on the set we got. Fun game, but I would contact co. concerning odor.

Yes, I noticed this, too. I'm wondering if it's maybe a formulary change that came along at the same time as the new packaging, because I've been buying these from Amazon for years and there wasn't the awful smell before with the other packaging.

No. I have been using them for several months and have not noticed any smell.

The first couple of times that I used mine, it had a strong smell of burning plastic as well. It has definitely faded over time though.

Not at all. It smells like plastic when you first open it but no smell. I keep mine outside on the porch patio

No. I have used it many times with eggs and I have never noticed any smell.

I think it's the smell, my boys loved them. But if you put the bag to your nose it is unpleasant. They tended to like the smelly stuff!

Mine did not smell. But I purchased the frog and it did. I sent it back. I also purchased another item, a chew chocolate bar. Smelled strong of plastic but I liked it so much I thought I'd try and wash it first. That worked. Turned out it was the packaging was the problem.

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.

The smell of the POrtable High Frequency machine smells like the pool. I'm not exactly sure why, but I would think because it is killing the bacteria it has similar properties. Don't quote me on this.

Hmm, I just went over and sniffed our set and I don't smell anything in particular. I think we've had this since July, so perhaps it's off-gassed since then but I really don't remember the set having a toxic smell when we opened it and started playing with it.

We've had this for awhile now so I don't have the box, but it doesn't say anything, other than Made in China, on it. I don't smell anything on the ball at all. Sorry I couldn't be more help

Nope. Mine has no smell. Is super comfy and is the love of the nursery. My husbane loves it. I love it. The grandmas love it. Soft. Quiet. Subtle. Beautiful. Compact. Worth the price.
