Anyone figure out why they small so bad(out of the box/new)? And how do you get rid of the smell?

The size is okay with me. Just put it next to an open window for a day, the smell will go away.

I have the same problem...I have only been using mine for 5 months and it stinks to high heaven!!!!

With it being a new item, it may take a little while for the smell to go away. You could probably take a very lightly dampened cloth with fabreeze and wipe it down to see if that helps a little.

Mine didn't smell at all. I would try hot soapy water or some vinegar and baking soda for the smell. If it doesn't go away amazon may exchange them. Good luck.

Personally, I would exchange it. When I first opened the package, mine had zero smell to it. Absolutely none. Which is exactly what we're paying so much extra money for, right?! I would assume there's something wrong with yours. I absolutely love mine.

I got mine, opened the box and was almost knocked over. The smells is horrible so I took it out of my house.I'm hoping that over time it will go away, but it can't be good to breath that smell in,, it's really that bad. I wouldlove to send it back.

I've only used them in heating mode so far and have had no odors at all- in fact the family seems to be breathing better. Maybe try in heating mode for a few minutes and/or run system for a little while with no filters just to be sure it is the filter?

I had the same problem. I turned it on high setting and quickly turned it off when I smelled something burning. The next day, I turned it to low, then medium, then high setting with no problem. Not sure where the smell comes from.

I just opened mine and got the same chemical smell. It is disconcerting. I'll leave them open for a bit and see.

Good question!... I've been using these gloves for about 4 years (4 pairs) and here are the things I've tried and I do NOT recommend: 1- I flipped them inside out, hand washed them with mild liquid soap, then let them air dry at the dish rack --this did not get rid of the mildew odor. I mean it was good for one use maybe. 2- Someone said try apple cider vinegar instead of soap, I did. did NOT work. --again flip them inside out. 3- Wash them in dishwasher, inside out. Was good for a week or less, the odor got back again the same way. 4- Wash them in washing machine, inside out, same as dishwasher, it was good for a week, then stinky again (and I did not load the machine with towels like the other responder, maybe that is the trick?) I have talked to other folks and no one really knows how to get rid of the bad odor. The gloves are awesome and last for a long time, though I change them due to stinkiness issue. BTW, turning them inside out could be a little tricky, but it is easy when you get a hang of it. Sorry if this doesn't help much, but thought to share. I hope someone else offers a more helpful response and I might try the load of towels too... being desperate I guess. he he

I always use thus and it should be very light with little to no smell. I would return it if I were you. Do you mind telling us which Seller you bought this from? I just bought a new one myself and it's fine. Just wanna make sure I stay away from whoever you bought from. :-)

Mine had no odor at all and still work perfectly...with no smell whatsoever. Yes, I would say your set is probably defective. I would contact Bose or exchange back with Amazon.

My last couple of orders have been through Amazon and no smell problem noted. Take it back to your health food store and ask for a replacement. Then smell the replacement in the store before you leave.

I don't really smell anything in mine. I've only used mine a couple times though. I try to wear them overnight but I wake up after a few hours with my hands tingling (almost a burning sensation but not that bad). I have to take them off at that point. I don't know what it is I'm sensitive to. For all I know they could be too small for me and it's just starting to cut off my circulation.

Same thing happened to me I called and had them send me a return label. At the same time bought new ones. I was refunded when other returned to them. It was very simple and got the new ones in two days! Also use the original shipping box they came in. That way it cost you nothing to return them.

Hi Jo,I don't know because out unit does't have those smell.Is it brand new? Maybe that's one of the reasons. Let it work for a while and see how it's gonna happen. If it doesn't change at all, you should send it back soon! Hope this help!
