Product review (1 stars): Tastes Like Chemicals/Plastic
I purchased the same filter back in July 2015 and found it worked great and was half the price of the GE OEM filter.  When I purchased another to replace it in February 2016 the filter was of much lower quality.  The new filter made all water dispensed taste like vinyl/plastic (phthalate).  Even after trying to run water through the filter in attempts to flush the plastic/chemical taste out, it remained.  I wouldn't recommend this filter because it produces poor tasting water; defeating the whole point of having a water filter in the first place.  I guess you get what you pay for, looks like it is back to the overpriced GE OEM filters.
