Is there now a problem with Vellux blankets having an unremovable chemical smell? Our old one never had that.

I did not have a problem with smell from the Westpoint blankets. However, they were very THIN. I have not received my Martex blanket. Hope that is not the case.

I am not sure. I ended up throwing the blanket away. It was stiff and not very comfortable. It wasn't what I expected.

I don't remember having this problem. I have had this for over a year and I don't smell the plastic smell. I love this little heater. Works as well as it did the first day we bought it!

No Linda it did not smell like moth balls or have any other strange odors. I have been using the blanket often and all I can say is so far so good.I hope this helps you.

I've got a good sniffer, and I detect no odor at all. It's nothing but polyester fiber fill (like you might find in a throw pillow) with that kind of papery/plastic outer layer that some mattress pads are made from. If there was any odor back when I first bought it, I would have put it in the dryer on AIR FLUFF or spritzed it with Febreze or hung it on the line for a couple hours.

The blanket was wrapped in plastic. When I opened the plastic, it smelled like a new sweater. The was no offsetting smell, like there sometimes was even with the clean Army blankets I've been issued.

I don't know!!! Honestly, mine have never had any odor at all. Where do you live? Maybe the warehouse that it is stored in and shipped from has something to do with it. With very damp weather in a wet storage building might create that smell. I have a subscription to the Kleenex, but I am in New York and not once have had such a smell in the tissues.

No, ours didn't have any smell to them. My mother in law would notice that kind of thing too. Maybe you got a wrong batch? :o( That's terrible though.

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 don't think that it smells at all. I don't remember it being smelly when it was new either.

I think that's actually the smell of wool. We've had ours for a few months and it still has this faint wool smell.

Thankfully, neither mattress I've bought has had any odor emanating from them. We love our beds!!

I never,never ,never, ever had any issue with the off gassing. Not once did we smell any type of odor at all. That was one of the first things I mentioned in my review. I don't know about anyone else, but our bed was sound. Until this day this mattress has held up fresh as the day we got it.

I have had that "other" type too, and you're correct, they do not smell good! I love this one. It does NOT smell when heated. In addition, you can take the cover off of it and wash it. I hope my answer helps!!

I have had this fore about 2 years now and I cannot remember any chemical smell for it at all, not even when it was new. We have machine washed ours at times, if you want to try to get the smell out. Hope all works out.

I have never noticed a smell in ours. We did wash it though. Perhaps that made the difference.

Sorry to hear that, ours did not have a smell since we received it...not sure what to advise you to do

No, not that I noticed. The product itself does not smell. And the warmed towels/clothes also so not smell. Hopefully other people's don't smell either!
