Not sure, I bought a few and they have lasted for a long time. I haven't experienced any separation or odd smell.

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.

I washed before I used and did not notice any unusual smell. Also after reading your question, I went and smell them. I still did not notice anything.

I had to dig it out of my preparedness things, so sorry for the delay! The rings do not appeared glued on! They are on there very tightly! Hope that helps!

They don't have much of a smell but they last for weeks and still look great. Hope this helps.

There is a slight rubbery like smell. For me it didn't bother me or my husband. It is really hard to gauge as everybody's tolerance for smell is different. I've seen them sold at a Walmart store. That might be an option.

Nope no has at all. They do not smell when they bake. I highly recommend using a toaster oven if you can. When they shrink they kinda curl up and I have reached in to "help" lay them flat w a toothpick. I make Earings out of them so my images are pretty small. But no fumes or smells come off during it after baking :)

It did have a new sort of smell but maybe within a few weeks it will wear off. My castle does not have an odor at all now. Love it!

They didn't seem overly strong, somewhat like a lightly scented candle. To be honest I'm not sure how long the smell took to disappear but I don't recall it being that long. Sorry I can't be more precise.

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. I would try hot soapy water or some vinegar and baking soda for the smell. If it doesn't go away amazon may exchange them. Good luck.

There may be a plastic smell when you first use it and that's normal, it will go away with use. If you by any chance smell burning plastic, then that might be a torn seal ring. For more trouble shooting, please call Oster direct for info, parts, and replacements.

Ginger is right. It takes about a week for the smell to go away. Buy outdoors you may not notice it.

I didn't notice any smell either. They were plain, smoothly sanded blocks of wood. They're not made of compressed wood like most put-together furniture pieces. My grandson had a ball with them.

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