Probably the cheapest pair of shorts i've ever gotten. They smell like chlorine when you get them and they are absolutely nothing like the picture I do not recommend these for anyone who wants a cute pair of shorts. The button came fallen off the shorts and I had to push it back on. They even took the adhesive cover strip off the package (the bag it came in) and put it inside the envelope! Could you not be bothered to throw it away?

Seriously, I opened the box and they strongly (but pleasantly) smelled like bubblegum. I had three different friends verify this!

If you're more interested in how they look and feel, then just know that they're even more fabulous in person and fit perfectly.

Nasty smell. They smell like perfume and the smell is EXTREMELY strong. Would not recommend unless you want your house to smell like burnt pine sol or something.

They smell so bad. Like a musty wet basement.  I tried washing them and it didn't help at all.  If I can wash the smell out I'm going to have to throw them out.  God only knows where they had them laying around.  And honestly, they came in a plastic bag so I'm not even sure they are really L'eggs.

These smell horrible.  I am not sure what chemical they are made with, but they are not appropriate for children or anyone really (I bought them as fidgets for my Kindergarteners and ended up throwing them away!)

Like other reviews mine smelled super bad! Like kerosine mixed with a terrible perfume. I put them in my deck to air them out and I can still smell them in the house when I had the screen open. Very upsetting because they fit perfect, and are very warm. Gonna leave them out back for a few days and see if it goes away I have a feeling it won't so these will be going back:(

I like them, but they have a smell about that I don't like .

These glasses smelled awful when they came.  The chemicals smell like a mixture of second hand smoke and dirt smoke.  I was about to send them back but didn't want to fork over the cash for a pair of Oakleys I was only going to use to workout in.  Eventually the smell went away.  I would recommend airing out the glasses and the case a day or two before use.

They stink of gasoline or some gasoline type substance.  I tried to air them out and even wash them with Dawn. They seemed to smell worse. I can't in good conscience let kids play with them smelling this way. They would have been perfect for my daughter's third birthday party around the cake, in gift bags, and in the piata. I returned them because of the smell.

These things smell like cedar before you burn them, but they smell like bad campfire sausage once they're on fire

They are nice looking, but come with a very strong smell. I've let them on a open space for a while, with odor eater, yet they still smell like gas.

they really stink. So not only do I still smell the poop but its also trying to be covered by heavy chemical smelling perfume. They are also NOT GREEN. They are in no way eco beyond anything but maybe 100% plastic blue bags, but Im not even sure of that. The name is very misleading.

If you think these smell like paint thinner it's because they contain Acetone. Look them up. Very bad for you and your kids. I took one whiff of my kids and threw them away.

Sure they were fun to play with as a kid. So was Mercury. But now we know better.

They definitely smell strongly like a filet of fish that's been sitting out in the sun for a day once you open the package.

But also I didn't buy it for sniffing.

Customer service I give a 5. The towel design I give a 5 as the bag is handy and the design looks good. What I give a 1 star is the smell. The intense chemical smell on these towels is horrific. I washed them 2xs and still the smell was overwhelming. You don't even have to take the towels out of the plastic bag before you are taken back from the chemical smell. I could not imagine drying my bare skin with these. The company said that I must have gotten a bad batch so they sent me another and it was equally as bad. I returned all of them. Tried 4 and it was clear this is just how these are made. I read other reviews and others were saying the same thing. I wished they had worked. I did but some similar towels at a local hiking store and the brand I bought had no chemical smelly odor.

I bought these cases for a trip to Italy, but when they arrived, they smelled so horrible that I could barely keep them in my apartment. I tried airing them out in my building's courtyard and even put a dryer sheet with lavender oil inside of each case, but the awful smell never left.

Even after my trip to Italy, the scent was so bad that I had to return them. All of my clothes inside of the case reeked when I wore them and even my hands would smell like the plastic when I touched the outside. I've never smelled anything like it - my entire apartment was so thick with it that I was worried about the off-gases poisoning my children. Seriously, if yours smells, return it immediately, because nothing in nature could have caused this. It has to be toxic.

It's really disappointing, because I loved the color (mine were orange - perhaps that's the only color that stinks?), they are really lightweight and the wheels are good. However, after its 1st trip, the zipper on my big case was missing when I took it off of the luggage carousel and the teeth misaligned - after one trip - so apparently the zips are really flimsy. It wasn't overpacked, so I have no idea what happened.

Stay away!

They seem to work well. Greatly reduce the chlorinated smell of regular water. You can tell they're working because when you pull them out after a few months they are completely black. A bit on the expensive side though.
