Why there is some smell when I receive my item?

The smell of the products is in normal condition, because silicone products need to be hardened when they are produced, requiring some additives, which are equivalent to those in chemical reactions. Some products are packaged tightly, the additives’ smell can not be released from the package in that case, our additives are safe, and our products passed FDA Test.
