It was sitting on our counter and the whole kitchen filled with that smell. Obviously outgassing something you would rather not breathe. Seems to come from the black rubber gear under the blade assembly. The unit claims BPA free, but there seems to be something worse than BPA coming from it. My wife insisted we should return it, and I agreed. I researched the stuff the Vitamix is made of, and it looks a lot better, think I will try that.
=========================== Thank you VERY much for this report, Del. I find that many people who are otherwise savvy about their health don't pay much attention to odors. For example, they use fabric softener, which is a neurotoxin and destroys the respiratory tract, liver, kidneys, and more. I own a Vita Mix and LOVE it. I suppose that an already-gassed-off Nutribullet is good for traveling (perhaps it would be advantageous to find a used one). But for home use, there's nothing like a Vita Mix or its competitor, the very similar Blend-Tec from what I've heard. I made a lot of vegetable smoothie at a time, anyway-so the large container is an advantage for me.
