The second time I ordered this product, I noticed a bad smell. Did they go rancid? I returned them and plan to try a new one.

No, I think all vitamins have just weird smells. Not rancid, but they do have a smell. I like the product!

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!

My pills have no horrible smell...you apparently received a bad batch. Recommend not taking them and returning them for another bottle.

We had the same problem. After several weeks of usage our 12-year old's pair stunk so bad we wouldn't allow them in the house. We finally soaked them in a tub with OxyClean and then washed them, thinking that they either had to get clean, get ruined, or be thrown away. The smell went away after the washing and they seem to be okay. But there's clearly something about the material that holds moisture and stench. They are not very breathable at all.

I would definitely say NO - it should not smell like that............in my opinion, it has a light, fresh smell, not like perfume or some type of fragrance but maybe a TAD medicinal....I think that is the Tea Tree oil in it........it also has Vitamin E in it that should help keep it fresh and not let it get rancid............none I have ordered has ever smelled rancid..................

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 noticed the smell upon opening mine too. The smell seemed to come from all the little desiccant packs. Throw them away and double check because theirs a lot of them in all the pockets. And after I took all of them out. I just left the pack open on my hot and humid porch. Even if you did nothing. I would assume the smell would eventually fade over time, Till then just try storing it away from you till the smell dies down some.

Mine smell very badly (and I didn't order them online - bought them at a health food store) and they also make me nauseous if I take them on an empty stomach. I've had other supplements that smell badly, as well, so I personally don't think it's anything out of the ordinary.

My first filter made the air smell fantastically fresh and clean. It wore out before the warranty and the new filter made the air smell ... odd ... kind of dirty, right from the beginning. I read somewhere that this might be a result of them being stored somewhere where they pick up odors. That could be the problem for you. If it has been fine for a long time and had just recently started smelling bad, it is likely that your filter just needs to be replaced (a bad smell is a sign that the filter has just had it and you need a new one).

I have had mine now for nearly 5 months and I don't remember them smelling bad. I use my charger EVERYDAY! I hope it resolves soon for you otherwise maybe contact the seller for an exchange.

Yes, I experienced the same thing but it seems OK and is helping me sleep and helping relax muscles and reduce pain. I wrote the company and asked about the rancid smell. They said the product should last for two years after purchase. I bought it about two years ago on Amazon but just now have been using it. After this bottle, I will order more. Hopefully the new bottle won't have the rancid smell. I am sensitive to fragrances and do prefer lotions with little or no fragrance.

Mine came with the horrible smell as well. I put it outside to air out for a few days and I put it next to a bag of baking soda to absorb the odor too. After a few months, I've noticed that the smell is no longer present.

I wondered the same thing. I really don't know, all I can say is they smell like rancid oil and my kids couldn't stand the smell either. Don't know if they are old, contaminated or they use something to whiten them that makes them smell. I used yellow ones from the company before that smelled like honey

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.

I use have used these the last few years and have not had the same problem. I just opened the box I have at home and it has no odor. I don't have an answer of why yours is so pungent. (Bad batch?mildew?)
