It sounds like wherever you got them from, they were stored improperly and we exposed to something. Mine came from Amazon and they do not have any significant smell. The way to get the smell gone (or reduced) is to use a mild cleaner with 1-2% of Murphy's Oil or Pinesol and warm water and a cloth. Rub them down and let them sit outside in direct sunlight...hope that helps.

Ours do smell a bit of gasoline too, but I think a soak in warm soapy water should fix them.

I caught a definite heavy plastic smell from the bags all the stuff is stored in. Although I'm sensitive to such smells, this particular one smelled also of camp fire (such as a sweater that has been exposed to lots of campfire smoke) This all went away after assembly. There is no residing smell now.

Depends on the smell. If it is a plasticky smell, it is due to it being a new product, all plastics emit an odor for a short time. A week out of the box and it will be gone, even a few hours in the sun will do it. If it is a burning smell, it could be a short circuit, if so return it.

Fortunately I didn't have an issue with the mugs smelling like plastic at all. I washed the lids by hand really well before using them though.

Mine is fairly new. When first used, I could small a plastic smell, and even after a few months still smell that; but it is not a burning odor. If you smell something burning, I suggest that you don't use it and return it for a replacement.

No, ours didn't have any smell to them. My mother in law would notice that kind of thing too. Maybe you got a wrong batch? :o( That's terrible though.

Just received a pair in the mail. Mine smell funny too. Like a factory or something artificial.

I noticed a smell from mine, probably something to do with their being manufactured in China.I don't recall any smell from one I bought 10 or so years ago that was manufactured in the USA.I'll try the new one some more to see if the smell goes away.

Plastic smell goes away after a few uses. The temp dropping I don't think is normal. You might want to check if it's still under warranty. Hope this helps!

I didn't have this problem, sorry you are. I did wash my pot with Fit vegetable wash and have used it for other plastic items with odors. Hope it helps.

A box full of plastic is gonna smell like it's a box full of new plastic stuff. Once I opened and installed them, I don't notice any plastic-y smell. Hope that helps.

Nope. No plastic smell. Like others have already answered. Very easy to clean, I just throw them in the dishwasher. My 1 yr old and 6 yr old love their homemade apple juice push pops!!
