Thanks, for the info. I never thought to do that. They are still sitting on

the deck!!

: For the meantime you can wrap the rubber in foil (just regular aluminum

foil.) If you need one in an emergency the foil rips off quickly. Dr Rea

teaches everyone to foil things that off-gas, its easy and works very well. D

Thanks, Jeff, I have to go to different places and do the sniff test before

I buy the next one. I may even just try to return the ones I purchased.

All they can say is no.

On its own, the smell will probably never go away; I have had similar

experiences with rubber items, mostly made in China!

You could try soaking them in bleach or 10% hydrogen peroxide, and then

airing them out.

But try to find some that do not smell. There are newer style plastic ones

that have no odor.

Thank you for the advise. I have not brought them into the house they are

still on the deck. They will either be returned or throw out. I'll keep

looking for some that don't smell.

Thanks, again. Sue

> I have had horrible experiences with rubber. My suggestion is: keep it

away from you, out of the house or somewhere you won't smell it and nowhere

near anything absorbent or it too will smell like rubber. Rubber takes a

very long time to outgas. Toilet plungers also come in hard black plastic.

You can try soaking in baking soda, it may take a while.  Changing baking soda

soaks.
