Hi, does the odor really disappear completely after 'airing' them outside for a day or 2?

Not sure what you are using these for, but I (or the bachelorette party I gave them to) wasn't bothered by the smell at all. These rings flash for 4-5 hours tops, so these are not toys that will be hanging around for very long.

Minimal odor when first opened. Barely noticeable after few hours then gone.

I'm pretty sensitive to odors and I don't remember the bins giving off any smell. I have two sets in a room next to my bedroom. If there was any smell it dissipated really fast.

The smell is not constant, it depends on the wind, and if you can tolerate a sniff once in a while, you will be rid of flies in no time. Amazing. I keep being amazed every day, the product has not expired and I have had it up for a a few months. Happy.

Hi Nancy,I have 7 of these in my home. I wish I could smell them but to me their smell is almost nothing. So I guess I can say the scent will fade.

They had a slight odor when they came out of the packaging but it wasn't pungent. I have a very sensitive (meaning that I can smell things most people can't smell and in low doses too) nose too. I didn't wash them and the scent went away after a day or two. Hope this helps you out.

I got mine a long time ago, I don't really remember if they smelled right out of the box, if they did, they definitely don't smell anymore!!

It's the way it smells for about two or three days. It does go away if not contact the seller mine did the same thing and is fine now. Flipping it over once or twice helped it air out.

You have my sympathies. The odor last from three days to about week. I put mine in the dryer on fluff for a few minutes. It helps but only thing to do is suffer and wait. I wouldn't try wasting it because they are so heavy it would take longer than a week to dry.

It sounds like wherever you got them from, they were stored improperly and we exposed to something. Mine came from Amazon and they do not have any significant smell. The way to get the smell gone (or reduced) is to use a mild cleaner with 1-2% of Murphy's Oil or Pinesol and warm water and a cloth. Rub them down and let them sit outside in direct sunlight...hope that helps.

I believe they say 48 hours but I left mine out for 24 hours and it was good to go with no smell.

If there was an odor it went away. I hate those types of smells so I didn't notice any smell.

I would agree with the other reviewer. When I ordered a case they remained fresh until they were gone. If you have a couple a day they'll be gone before it would be a concern.

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.

I don't remember if they did when I opened the box. I just went out there and there's no smell but they've been outside about three weeks. Hope that helps...

No noticeable smell after 2-3 days. That may change if you leave it longer!?

I kept the mattress in a room for one day with the window open. After one day (or two days), the odor was pretty much gone.
