Weird smell and then SHRUNK! First we received the wrong size, which was replaced at no cost, but sadly the new one had a terrible chemical smell which was concerning, but most disappointing is that after washing the blanket EXACTLY according to manufacturer's instructions, it shrunk. It's supposed to be a generous king size, and wouldn't even cover a queen. SO disappointed...it's not usable for the purpose I bought it, so I guess it's going in the extra blanket pile.
