Question from Sara

When we buy products from China that contain black rubber parts, they have a strong odor. Two sink stoppers smelled up my kitchen. Leaving them in the sun to gas off did not help. Soaking them in baking soda and water did not help. I don’t know why these and other items with black rubber parts have such a strong odor. Is it a safe odor or is there reason for concern?

Debra’s Answer

I don’t know exactly what they are, but am assuming their composition is something like rubber tires, which contain a lot of toxic chemicals.
