I bought this product and I had to throw because It was smelling so bad, like it has been kept in a wet place. Seller: Regal Brands LLC.

The lining inside the bag is of the poorest fabric and it smells awful.  I turned the bag inside out and left it outside (under cover) to lose the odor for a few days but it is still so odorous I cannot use it.

When I first tried to set up this trap,  I didn't realize how poorly the top fit on to the canister, so once I poured in water and the powder comes with and lifted it up from the top the bottom fell down in the water with the poison  squirted all over me and in my face and mouth.
 Then once I actually use the trap it was the most disgusting thing ever. Half dead flies swarming in a soup and breeding with Larva wiggling around. The smell was horrifying

As the other sellers posted, the handle (coating) on this is TERRIBLY STINKY!!  It smells like a caustic, industrial chemical!  I even washed and bleached and put mine out in the direct sun FOR A MONTH, but still, the smell WILL NOT DISSIPATE!  Also, I don't think the sound of the jingles is very good. This is definately more for a kid's use, IF you don't mind them handling the toxic-smelling coated handle, which stays on the hands. Because I had high hopes that a month in the sun would aerate or dissolve the smell, I'm past the return window, so I cant get a refund, but it is going to the thrift store!

Upon opening the package, the chemical odor was overwhelming. I tried to air the blanket out side but that didn't help. I have washed the blanket 3 times and the last two added a cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle. The blanket is draped over a chair in guest bedroom, and when I walk into the bedroom the chemical odor is noticeable. I regret that I didn't send it back right away. I thought that if I aired it out the odor would go away. But that chemical odor is still there, and its amazing how the odor fills the guest bedroom. I'm not comfortable giving it to a thrift store so will probably throw it away.

There is a foul nautious smelling odor coming off this product. I don't know if it is from the case, cheap foam insert, plastic suction cup but it is bad. I usually don't get sensitive to smells but there is something seriously funky with it. It smells like it was sitting in a musty old factory basement just rotting away.

I am leaving for a trip and don't have time to go through returns and trying to get a product somewhere else. No silica packet inside the case may have played a factor but even still, I don't think cheap plastic is supposed to give off a toxic smell. I tried to wash some parts in the sink using tide on the fabric straps and the case, and dish soap for the hard pieces. After wash, rinse, soak, and repeat 3 times I am letting them dry. The odor is still present heavily from the suction cup on the dash mount bracket. That may be the source. A cheap poorly made polimer that I question meets code.
It does not hold a shape and came as warped as a dried snail. I can't be the only one who is getting a headache from the stench of this.

When I return on 3/11/18 I will be returning this decomposing plastic. I am not exaggerating, it was pretty bad. I am more worried about the toxicity of this plastic than I am being around a bunch of smokers. I can smell it as I type this, coming from my hands, ugh!

I have never given a review like this ever, nor have I ever been compelled to but seriously, is this product safe?

It smelled so bad, like pesticides, I could never get the smell out. I tried evreything, but nothing worked. I just had to get rid of it.

Got this for my dog because he had another one like it that he loved.
Extremely disappointed because it smells so strongly of chemicals.
Tried washing it by hand with soap twice, soaking over night, and it still smelled strong enough to give me a headache
I had already gotten my dog excited while I was opening the package, so I tossed it for him but after maybe 1 min of playing with it he threw up and hasn't gone near it since.
I thought about putting it in the dish washer but I'm afraid it would melt.
It has now been buried in a bag of kibble for about a month (my mom thought that might help the smell)
but I took it out the other day and it still smells

tl:dr Smells like chemicals, not worth it

I haven't had a chance to use this yet but i have no doubt it will bring them in. I made the mistake of opening it and taking a whiff. Holy s***. Ive been a paramedic for 12 years and have smelled some nasty stuff but this was the worst thing ive ever smelled in my life. I gagged all day after that and just thinking about it made me nauseous. To the guy that said he put this as a cover scent on his boots omg D00D. I cant even imagine.

My first reaction when opening the tube was immediately being hit in the face by the smell of skunk and rubber mixed together. It was so overwhelming I had to throw it in the wash two times to get rid of the smell, rinse the tube out with soap and water. I'm shocked that no other reviewers have mentioned this! It's disgusting!

Once smelling clean, the towel does keep you cooler. It's not a fabric, but not a silicone. It's kind of a mixture between the two, which I think is where the initial smell came from. It soaks up water well, which makes this a great towel to use after swimming. The excess water can be twisted out easily, and then can be used once you are dry to keep you cool.

The tube could be a little more generous. You have to roll the towel up tight to place it back inside. It does have an air hole to prevent mold from growing on the inside, which is nice. If the towel dries out, it can easily be re-hydrated and work like new. If you or someone you know does a lot of sports or exercise, this is something I would recommend. Just be aware of the initial smell.

smells awful had to leave outdoors hoping that the smell would go away. I can why you had it wrapped so tight in plastic to keep the smell contained. Would send it back but to much trouble.

It smells like wet dog. I'm going try washing it to get the smell out. If not, I will send it back.
On a good note, I love the color.

I couldn't have this pillow anywhere near me for more than about 10 seconds. As soon as it got near my head I could smell a chemical odor. I believe it is offgasing from the polystyrene beads inside it.

I even let it sit for 30 days to see if the smell would go away, but it did not. I waited one day too long though, as now the return window has expired.

Once opened it was hard to mail back as it expands. It smelled up the entire downstairs like nasty chemicals, put it outside for the day and then ended up discarding it as the smell never dissipated. Didnt want to even donate it! Im shocked so many folks like this.
