Dealing with a Strong Smell from Your Trunk Organizer? Here's What You Can Do!

I was excited to get the trunk organizer, but it has a very strong vinyl smell. I left it out of the bag for a week now, and the smell hasn't gone away. Does anybody else have this problem?

ALL of the black stuff smells like that!!
My men's totes and apron smelled like that, but by now they are fine. (I washed my apron 2 times and dried it with dryer sheets.) Maybe try rubbing dryer sheets all over it??
Good Luck

I would also call PC and let them know and what they suggest. It would be good info to have in case we get customer calls about the smell.

Interesting. I don't have the Trunk Organizer, but my black Insulated Cooler doesn't have a bad smell.

Update--I contacted HO, and they exchanged it for another one. Which smells worse than the first one:yuck: Do I really want that in the back of my car?
