This blanket is nice, but it smelled strongly of mold when I received it. Even after washing it 2 times, the smell is still strong. I reached out to the third party seller due to their request for an customer service issues upon delivery of the blanket. I was told the smell is from the machine used to make the blankets, however I am highly suspicious that a whole machine would smell like wet mold, unless of course they aren't properly caring for their equipment. Kind of a bummer that I wasn't given a resolution yet and that I'm stuck with a moldy smelling blanket
