Hi all -
Just got my blue cable boy today after a LONG wait and MUCH anticipation!! I pulled it out of the box, unwrapped it, and the most horrible odor emanated from the bag. Like toxic sweet plastic chemical smell. Within minutes I had face flush, elevated heart rate, a piercing headache, ringing ears and nausea. (I am the never get sick or take medications gal by the way, and have no known allergies or health issues TG).
Anyone experience this?? In this bag or another style with PVC? It's from Hirshleifer's, and a preorder. They don't take returns. I do not wish to be stuck with a $5600 credit for a bag that makes me ill. Should someone have notified me that there was a strong toxic odor on the bag? Is this defective? Should they take a return because of this despite their policy?
I can't imagine anyone taking this bag to dinner and setting it on a table with that smell. Ugh. Feedback much appreciated. Pics included here.
