Does this give off an odor?

Don't believe the hype. 2000 reviews four and a half stars? I don't care if it was only 10 bucks. Jeezus this thing smells volatile. I got nauseous just trying to install the damn thing. Do not at any cost get this thing, especially if you have poor ventilation.

Yes, it has a very strong odor from the PVC, which is actually toxic [I'm amazed that so few people realize this, based on the comments people have shared]. It was so strong that I had to take the curtain down and put in my garage. It's been there for 24 hours now. Still strong. Will wait another day or so, then if the strong PVC plastic smell doesn't go away, I may have to return it. Apparently, some people don't realize that these smells are from gases being cast off from the plastic, and you breathe them in. Not good. Can't wait for the day when this the use of these chemicals is banned. Nice thick shower liner, but not sure I want to risk my health or that of my pets.

It has a VERY heavy plastic PVC odor--I had to take it down and put it outside for 3 days to air it out--the whole house stunk of it when we first put it up

I bought this curtain about one and a half years ago. It had no odor whatsoever, which I loved. I went back to my amazon orders and ordered the same curtain again. This one is different. It is not as sturdy as the previous (allegedly same) one and has a very strong plastic odor. This product changed over the years. I will not buy it again.

Yes, it is not 100% Vinyl as advertised, it is actually 100% PVC as it says on the package when you receive it. It has a horrible toxic smell, returned after one shower (never felt so dirty). DO NOT BUY THIS.

Yes it does. At least it did for me. Open it up. Air it out in an open area. Another tip when I encounter smells is a small bowl of white vinegar placed nearby overnight. Let me know how it goes!

Yes it does have that odor, but it seems to go away in time. I bought mine last winter and it 's disapeared some

Yes, it does. I wouldn't call it an odor, though. It smells like anise (licorice).

We didn't notice any odor, but we did let it air out for 2 days before we put it on the bed. It is the BEST mattress topper we've ever had!

Not sure I can answer that question. It's not necessarily a bad odor, it's just a plastic odor that seems to never go away. It's tolerable once you get used to it.

It had a very slight, but not offensive odor. I aired it out for 6 hours and it was completely gone. I really love it. Odor is really not an issue.

Didn't have any strange odors with ours. You would have to contact the manufacturer to answer that question.

I didn't notice any odors. It does come in plastic packaging that may have some odor at first.

I have not smell from my unit. It does make a slight sound, but any noise in the room over powers it.

Mine had the odor for maybe a couple days but if you use it frequently, the odor goes away. I try to run it with the "COOL" setting off for a few minutes before shutting it down when I am done with it. That seems to work for me as I haven't had any odor from it for weeks.

No, it does not have any odor at all. I have terrible allergies and am sensitive to odors. I have had this duvet for about 6 months and am very happy with it.

It does have an odor but I used it in my poorly ventilated laundry room without any problems.

No, it has no odor at all. This is a lovely piece of furniture. It arrived with damage to one shelf, but I called the manufacturer (phone number provided with packing materials) and they sent me a replacement part in less than a week. I was impressed with the service.

Yes, it does have an unpleasant odor when you first take it out of the package, but as it is used out-of-doors, the small gets less and less.
