NetMax,

And what do you think that they would do if they found out? Their reps
would tell the stores to refund or replace the product if anyone comes in
with a complain. What else would they do? It might have been a batch
problem, so the quantity affected might be very limited (if it's even the
artificial wood and not something else).

Well, the smell comes from a couple of different pieces so I can rule out a
bad batch. If they made a few and a few were returned, I don't think
anything would come of it. But if they were sold by the boatload, which Top
Fin products are, and there was a problem, I would think they would rush to
find a way to stop the lost revenues. Even a small percent of complaints
from a large enough market would be a substantial amount of lost income.

At any rate, although no one's said anything about, I'll just assume no one
else is seeing these types of problems and it's just me.
