Does the plastic smell that some people complain about go away in time?

Mine reeked of plastic for the first few uses and there was an "off" taste in the rice, but after 5-10 uses (maybe less) it went away. After the first 1-2 uses, I boiled water in it a few times and that seemed to help

I have had it so long, I do not remember if it had a plastic smell, but it doesn't smell of plastic now, just the rice I cook in it. I don't wash mine in the dishwasher. It has never changed the taste of the rice either.

I bought mine from target 4 years ago have used it hundreds of time never a plastic smell. I have a giant nose and I am french, I can smell aspartame in drinks, and can smell nutmeg from the other room. If there is a plastic smell I have never smelt it. I am just here to buy a couple more because target is always out and a friend stole mine and refuses to give it back. Some friend.

The rice cooker does not smell of plastic. From day one it does not impart plastic smell in rice or veggies which I have prepared in it.

I really didn't notice a plastic smell. Maybe because I wash it in the dishwasher. I love it!

It does have a slight smell from the particle boards, but it goes away in a couple of days, no problem.

We have not noticed any plastic smell. I must say that we have a large room so it may not be that apparent it the smell is not too intense.

I have found that all new plastic products have at least a slight plastic smell when you first open them. This product is no different. It's not bad at all.

Ours did not have an unpleasant odor when we received it. Smelt like the typical plastic, rubber item. Maybe to speed up the process of getting rid of the smell let it soak in a strong fragrant soap? Hope this helps you out.

They do tend to have a plastic smell at first, but it went away in a day or so. But if not, why not try spraying it with a mix of a cup of white vinegar to 3 cups of water? Vinegar takes care of a lot of things. Good luck!

I've had mine for quite a while so there is no plastic smell. I don't remember if it had one in the beginning. It is pretty thick. That is one thing I liked about it.

Mine didn't have an odor that I recall.. If it did, it went away real quick. Anything new and especially with plastic will have some slight odor but should go away as it airs out.

No I don't. It did bother me for a couple of days, but the smell went away and now I don't notice it.

I have had my vittles vault for quite sometime. I just put the food in it. I opened it up and I don't smell the plastic odor. I have had it at least a year so I am not sure about how long it takes to go away.

It does have a plastic smell. It has kinda gone away now though. I've only used it a week probably. I only noticed the plastic smell at first but my car was hot from being in the sun. So I thought maybe that was why.

Only when we opened the box and got it out but the "new plastic" smell went away after 15 minutes.

No it doesn't smell of plastic to me. There is sufficient stream to treat adults as well as kids.

I have no problems. Have used these mats for years and the plastic smell out of the box disappears in a few days of air on the appropriate spot in my shower! They are a basic tool in my home.

When we first got it I could smell it in my coffee cup but now it has gone away. I think it is something in the plastic that eventually goes away. My wife on the other hand has never smelled it.
