I bought a pleather chair & ottoman at Home Goods that was perfect for my family room. I had help getting it into my SUV, brought it home & drug it into the house by myself only to find that it stunk! You could smell it all over the house! A real strong plastic smell. That night my DH put it in the garage & it stunk that up too! We put it back in the car & left it in there with the windows down while at church then returned it. I understand what you are going through- such a strong smell!
