Customer Review: What a stink
Summary: 2 Stars
I used this cutting board in my sewing class and loved it. No odor at all from the one in class.
I got my mat and it smelled as though I had hit a skunk. My husband made me put it on the back porch. Then I learned that a friend of mine had one for 8 months and hers still stinks. Her husband won't let her use it inside. I went online and read that others had found the same odor problem from these Olfa mats. Some said that the smell diminished after a few weeks but others said it has never stopped stinking.
I e-mailed the Olfa distributor to ask if the company has other suggestions. I may just have to send it back.
Great cutting mat if you don't mind a strong toxic smell.
