Product review (1 stars): Horrible plastic smell/taste that doesn't go away - Replacement one stinks too - Would like money back
The water from my fridge tasted fine until I replaced the original OEM filter that came with my GE fridge with this one from Amazon which should have been exactly the same.  The water after the change had a strong plastic taste and smell (like the smell of a plastic cooler that has been closed a long time and just opened) that didn't go away with lots of use. I asked Amazon for a replacement which they graciously supplied, but it has the same ever-present smell/taste effect. I think this is a bad batch of filters. I would return this replacement one for money back, but I don't see how I can do that on the Amazon website.  Now I'm stuck with throwing away the filter and 40ish dollars to get a non-OEM replacement that doesn't stink.  Very unhappy.
