It is alightwieght canvas like material with a very stinly plastic lining. It smells like fermaldahyde and bleach combined. it is sickening and even makes my eyes sting. It was made in China. what are they using and how can I get rid of this smell? is it dangerous with the off gasing? I have hung it in the sun for 8 hours, sprayed it down with vinegar water and shut it in the closet with an ionizing air filter for 2 days. any suggestions?
