I previously asked if the cords have a strong plastic odor (as some do). 2 guys answered no and a gal answered yes. Any clues as to reality?

I noticed no smell at all, and I purchased them several months ago. Hope this helps.

Hi Jo,I don't know because out unit does't have those smell.Is it brand new? Maybe that's one of the reasons. Let it work for a while and see how it's gonna happen. If it doesn't change at all, you should send it back soon! Hope this help!

If your smelling plastic burning that's not a good sign. I never had that problem with mine. I would suggest sending back to manufacturer.

I'm usually very sensitive to any smells, but I didn't notice a smell when I opened the box. Or, if I did, it must not have been very strong and I didn't think much about it. If I were you, I would wash an item and see if it still smells. If it does, I would return it. I think some of them smell and some don't. You're not the first person to mention it. Maybe it depend on how long the pieces get to "air out" before they're packaged...

We do not experience such an odor. I would return if such phenomenon occurred. Sorry about your experience !

I did not notice a strong odor with mine. Air it out before putting it together and return it if it still has an odor is my recommendation.

We have not noticed any plastic smell. I must say that we have a large room so it may not be that apparent it the smell is not too intense.

I never noticed a smell on my pillows, maybe wash the covers it came with. If not send you hen back ask for new ones.

I did not have an odor problem with mine, maybe there is something wrong with yours? I am thinking you are talking about something like that new shower curtain smell; I wash those or spread them on the back porch a couple of days to get rid of that....

I had no trouble with smoking and strong smells. Did you take the plastic prongs off of the plug???? I used it Xmas eve, I have two of them, one for keeping a pasta dish warm and the other to saute seafood and had no unexpected results. I think they are great.

I'm sorry to hear that. Mine didn't smell like burnt plastic bags. It's probably because individuals have a different keen sense of smell than others or perhaps your package made it through a hellish journey to get to you. We would never know.

Not sure what smell people were referring to. Ours did not have any unusual odor. Kind of new leather smell for a very short period of time.They are in my son's bedroom, so somewhat of a confined space and we can't smell anything.

Mine didn't smell at all. Possibly an extremely faint rubber smell due to the material it is made of? But it is supper subtle (I am very sensitive to smells and don't really detect anything).

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've had no issues with the odor. I barely notice the "plastic smell" most people comment on. I have a friend who also uses one and his does not smell either. I took mine apart and put it through the dishwasher before ever using it. Now, I wash it off with rubbing alcohol between uses, and as I said, I never smell the plastic. I hope that helps... Good luck.
