Hi, thanks for writing to tell us about your experience. While Sometimes odors can be absorbed in our products, it's never the experience we want you to have. Please know we take extensive measures at our manufacturing facilities and precautions are taken by those who ship, store, and sell our products to prevent this type of occurrence, so it's not what we'd expect. We'd like to learn more and see how we can help. Please give us a call at 1-800-553-3639 (Monday-Friday, 8:00am – 5:00pm CST) or contact us here: http://spr.ly/6425BEX1YF. We hope to hear from you soon!
