Just recieved hot rollers. They smell very strong while heating. Is this normal and will this smell go away?

I did not have this experience. I would not use them. Could be faulty heating coils. I wouldn't risk using them.

I have not noticed a smell when my John Frieda rollers heat up, and I am sensitive to odors. Anything that involves electricity or heats up and smells, aways concerns me. I have had old hair blow dryers smell strong right before the motor burns outs. Be careful. Its your decision about what to do.

I'm usually very sensitive to any smells, but I didn't notice a smell when I opened the box. Or, if I did, it must not have been very strong and I didn't think much about it. If I were you, I would wash an item and see if it still smells. If it does, I would return it. I think some of them smell and some don't. You're not the first person to mention it. Maybe it depend on how long the pieces get to "air out" before they're packaged...

Call the tech. support number, they are awesome! they gray metal top pulls off, exposing the rollers. You can turn the temp. way down, turn it on so the rollers will move... hope that helps :0)

I've had not issues with any smell's and have been using these products for years...I did let it unroll and air out for a day and since then,no issues at all. And I do have a sensitive to smells..I seem to smell them before others. I am totally happy with this product.

I have had that "other" type too, and you're correct, they do not smell good! I love this one. It does NOT smell when heated. In addition, you can take the cover off of it and wash it. I hope my answer helps!!

I noticed the smell as well. I used them once for a potato sack race and noticed the smell was diminished, but still present. I would bet that if you hung them out in the sun for a few days it would go away.

I too am bothered by strong smells and I have not had any problems with the pad. To tell you the truth except for taking it out of the box I have not smelled it at all. I got mine during the winter months and think that the heat must make the smell last a little longer because of the comments that have been made about the smell. I truly have not had a problem at all. Hope this helps you.

Any new products, especially ones made from plastic will have a bit of a "smell" during the first few usages. This eventually goes away. This brush is meant to be constantly moving and because the heat is very hot, you may want to only leave your rolled hair on it for just a few minutes for curls. You can also adjust to the next lower level, which is still hot, just not full-blast hot. I don't use the full-blast hot due to my baby fine hair. Hope this helps.

Mine did not smell different. U may have gotten a bad one or something. Probably see about an exchange and gage from there.

So I just got one this week and mine had a very strong smell, so much so that it's in another room hoping to get rid of it... It has the rubber smell that the floor of a gym has which makes me think it's not going to go away. Not sure if I want to wait it out or return it at this point.

I received mine as a gift just yesterday. Very strong smell like I had just painted the entire bedroom. This was after the mattress had sat for 2 days to expand in another room in the house. I am hoping that someone can seriously tell me this odor goes away.

Hey Jessy, I think it is just yours because I have tried this heating pad and it was okay I mean it didn't smell anything weird.

Hello Mike, no, we've had the heater for 3 years now and have not had any unpleasant odor coming from it at all, we're running LP gas on it and if you're running Natural gas, you might want to check with your gas company. I hope this helps??

You can either touch the plastic cover or I usually just lightly touch one of the actual rollers. Once I pick one out of the container, it normally cools down around the edges rapidly quick. I've had mine for over two years and I've never burned myself!

While the rollers are still on and hot, I use a wet (with water) microfiber cloth. Gently rub back and forth on each roller as they are turning. Some products leave the rollers with a little crust. When this happens I add a dampened, none soapy (the green pads) scouring pad to the mix. Again with gentle pressure and just enough to break down the crust and then finish with the microfiber cloth. So far the rollers still look brand new. Hope this helps.

Mine had a slight herbal smell. Try mixing with an essential oil like lavender.

wife says that normally ...no. but if she leaves it on too long, it may smell that way. i have never smelt her hair smell burnt. she only uses a conditioner, nothing particularly for heat. daily she just curls bangs, hope someone else has a better answer.
