Noxious Gasoline Smell
I just received this last week.  The hot water bottle does its job but the smell is like gasoline and got stronger over the first few days of use!!!  The bottle and the covers are soaking in washing detergent as I type in the hope I can dissipate the pungent gasoline smell.  I'm unclear as to whether it's the bottle that has transferred the rubber/gasoline smell to the covers, or the fact that the covers arrive packed in the same plastic packaging as the bottle and as a result the smell has transferred from the bottle to the covers!  Either way, if the noxious smell can't be eliminated, it will go in the garbage.
