Had mine in my basement 2 years. No smell. Heard of other people with this problem in the reviews but not myself. Humidity?

It's so funny. I like this q&a thing. Idk I have has this happen before. Does there seem like there is less material in the tube as well and are the rubber washer things different. My guess is that it just is extremely old and things change in the tube. The company will send you a new one though if you call them and send it to them.

So I just got one this week and mine had a very strong smell, so much so that it's in another room hoping to get rid of it... It has the rubber smell that the floor of a gym has which makes me think it's not going to go away. Not sure if I want to wait it out or return it at this point.

Mine didn't get clumpy; that would concern me. If I were in your situation, I'd contact the manufacturer to find out what's up.

I haven't had that happen to mine...are you cleaning it regularly? I looked up cleaning diffusers on the computer and found a few easy to follow you tube videos with hot water and citric acid (found in the canning section of most grocery stores).

I would remove one (and plug the hole) and see if the smell remains. If it's gone, try the other one and see if it makes it smell. If neither one is the culprit, it could be that installing two together is problematic. I would check with Honeywell and ask them the question. Good luck. Oh, and check inside the cabinet (lights off of course) for any exposed plastic... it will disintegrate quickly when constantly exposed to the uv. You can cover it with aluminum tape for a solution.

Sorry for problems with your product. Mine expanded almost instantly. Yes, I'd say your is defective. Amazon has great customer service.

Hello Jeanne, I had the same issue. Apparently there was a bad batch shipped out. Please contact fintankelly@bubblebum.us and let her know the issue. They have EXCELLENT customer service and will resolve the issue. In my case they replaced both my seats immediately at no cost to me! Once you get the replacements, you will love this product! Kelly did tell me that the seat was tested deflated also and meets safety standards without air provided you use the belt hooks on both sides of the seat to keep the belt snug across your child.

I was so disappointed in this Froggs towel. I was storing it damp in the container in the coldest part of the refrigerator and when I pulled it out the other day it was covered with mold. I soaked it in bleach for a few hours, but not all the spots came out. I also have a Chilly Pad and it was stored exactly the same and has NO mold issues. ???????

Yes I had the same problem and ditched it and found a better humidifier. Our unit leaked from the very same spot. Other people have had the problem. We've had this one for about 6 months: Crane Drop Shape Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier with 2.3 Gallon output per day and it seems to be working well. No filters. It's a little bit of a pain to clean, but a little bleach solution and voila, it's clean. For our needs, this has been a much better humidifier and NO LEAKS!!!!

Sorry, mine died. The other 4, from a different co. are fine. Perhaps the water spray for the larger ones was too much for the little red one.

Maybe it's a bad batch of formula. Or time: the time it takes for the "stink" to activate at my 6900 elevation is a few days. You probably know a pinch of local dirt is required with the liquid in the bag -- this last time a clod clogged the hole, and I didn't see it until the next day. If your problem happened to me, I would try the manufacturer (go right to the top) and let him/her decide what to do. They want their product to bring happiness to all concerned (except the flies), and want to find solutions to problems like yours.

I recall it was rather mis-shapen when i got it but needed some time to breathe before it took on it's proper shape. The packaging should tell you how long to let it air out. If it is still mis-shapen I would contact them. It's also possible they made some modifications. The one i bought tends to sink you into the middle so perhaps they have created modifications.

I have had a the same thing happen, only mine didn't happen until several months after use. I'm not sure if this is the right thing to do, but I just "pop" it down with my hand kind of hard and it starts. As Scott said, it started doing that after I didn't get it sealed and it leaked. So I am guessing that there is just some "gunk" in there causing it to stick. If you wouldn't mind, please post what you find out from customer service. I am still able to use mine, but it continues to stick occasionally.

My answer is the same as the other foks. You got a bad batch and like someone stated, 1 could have opened up and air exposed as this can happen with capsules. Please return as you do have a money back guarentee. I have no issues with any of this companies products. Hope all our answers help you, just return and get another one.

I just opened mine and got the same chemical smell. It is disconcerting. I'll leave them open for a bit and see.
