Hi, This is my first time so here goes. I use to for a kids clothing company. It may be the dyes in the fabric or where it was made. We would fabric in from China that stunk to high heaven and even after we had it cleaned you could still smell it. Other times the clothing came in smelling of smoke or food. It had been made in the peoples homes, sometimes the smells would not come out. I would let the folks know who you purchased from. They will know if what they have smells or not, and can fix it. Did they insure your package. If so they will take care of that. I also think where you purchased it from will help you. Hope this helps. Mtn. Willow ;-)
