Did I get a bad one or it is just brownish in color with strong smell? (color and smells like old baby formula powder at the bottom of an open can.)

The powder when dry does appear as a creamy tan color, and the smell is strong. If it is actually brown it may be bad? I've never got a can with powder I would describe as brown. The smell though is pretty strong. If you feel like it's browner than tan it may be iffy.

Hi, we have been using Pedia Smart for a year for one of our twins that required a higher calorie formula. Yes, the product is a light brown in color. It does have a stronger smell than other formulas. The company, Nature's One has excellent customer service and you can contact them with any questions, they are amazing people. I mix this formula in an 11 ounce Avent bottle, 7 ounces of water and 3 scoops of formula. I find that if I stir it first and then shake it mixes really well. We love this product!

It has a very strong, distinct smell. I can't describe it because there's nothing else like it. Whoever said it has no smell, should get their sniffer checked! :)

it's been a while since I first opened it, but I don't remember any strong smell

I did not like this myself, I do not know if this is from the same seller, but when I received there was a horrible smell, so I contacted the seller, and found out they only accepted returns if it was defective. so it was a big to do, and would of cost more to send it back thank, because I had to pay restocking fee, and plus postage. so I threw it away, hope this helps

Yes, I noticed this, too. I'm wondering if it's maybe a formulary change that came along at the same time as the new packaging, because I've been buying these from Amazon for years and there wasn't the awful smell before with the other packaging.

Mine didn't smell like any of the odors you mentioned when I got it. It still doesn't smell like that today, after 1 year of use. I occasionally air it out - without dirty clothes in it. The only issue I've ever had to deal with was I put damp towels in it and forgot. So the bottom got moldy. I just sprayed the moldy part with hot water, scrubbed it with a tiny squirt of laundry soap, wiped it down and let it dry. It's good as new. I don't know why yours has that smell.

The stuff I bought from a Vendor on Amazon had a bad smell within 1 month. It is supposed to be odorless.

I threw the box and bottle away quite some time ago. Actually wish I'd have known to look. I can tell you the lotion was very yellow which didn't seem right. I figured it was probably old but not sure.

No mine didn't smell bad, just like new plastic (and I get migraines from strong odors).

It did have a smell like new plastic that eventually went away.But a skunk like odor...I would have to say mine did not.

I can't say that mine had that kind of an odor to it when it arrived but it did have somewhat of a chemical smell that lingered for a day or so but went away rather quickly. I assumed it may have been from being stored in some place with some type of chemical. But mine didn't have that strong of an smell, just a kind of harsh new processed plastic chemical smell, if you know what I mean. And like I said, it faded away within a day or so. Sorry, that's probably not much help... :(

When we fist opened it, there was a brief chemical smell. Now it's odorless (trust me, I'm pregnant!)

No, there's not a strong odor at any time...even when mixing it. But be aware that there may be some problems with product production. When I bought my first bottle, I LOVED this stuff. It's not as fast as Roundup but, within a week, everything started to wilt and turn brown. In two weeks (after spraying), everything was dead. I killed ALL of my grass (I'm going to a garden-type yard). When the first bottle ran out, I bought another...but that one didn't seem to do anything! It's very odd. One bottle worked great, but the next bottle seemed to be useless. So, maybe they have bad batches every now and then. I just know that, when it works, it WORKS! And it does NOT smell, either..

It is supposed to be an amber/brown color (or at least it is from my doctor). However, I ordered 2 on line, one was the nice amber/brown color BUT the one I just opened this morning appears to have been diluted to a clear/yellowish color. The smell is also different and the top came off easily WITH the plastic still on the bottle. It is also supposed to come boxed IN a box with a paper insert. Don't think I will be ordering on-line again....

Suggest you consider some other brands. It has an awful smell like spoiled nuts in its recent products which I received.

I've been using this stuff for quite a while & I was really put off by the color as well. It used to be so much darker. Mine did not have a bad smell ... it just seemed like they had diluted it. I contacted the company & they said that they have a new "processing system" but they assured me that they weren't diluting it. I don't know if I believe it because it doesn't seem to have the same effects that it had before. With that said, I am still using it.
