Review on 👩 Adjustable Denim Apron for Chef, Kitchen, BBQ Grill, Salon - Black Towel Loop, Jean with Quick Release Buckle & Tool Pockets - Size M to XXL by Kathy Babson

I purchased this item on February 1st, 2021 and received it on February 5th, 2021 As a slightly older male who has purchased clothing in both physical stores and online; and healthy person with an intact, normal sense of smell, I have NEVER had a piece of clothing that emits PVC fumes. When I opened the package the outgassing smell was awful and so strong I immediately hung the apron in an unused part of my house to allow it to breathe and remove the gas. In fact, every time I got within five to six feet of him, I could faintly smell the gas. It was ubiquitous, to say the least. This happened within 5 (five) days. It still smelled strongly as mentioned above. So I hung it outside for another 5 (five) days to degas it even more. Then it smelled a little less. Finally I washed it with OxiClean and cold water and then hung it outside to dry for another 5 (five) days. It didn't work: he only lost a few percent of the gas from the PVC. I decided to wash it a second time with the same detergent in hot water and tumble dry it on high. It seemed to help a lot, but it still smelled a little (yes), so I hung it outside for another 10 (ten) days. Finally I hung it (again) around the house for another 5 (days) and now it can be worn with very little smell. I think the dye used is the culprit here and needs to be replaced with a different type. AMAZON: DO NOT SELL THIS ITEM IN YOUR SHOP. SERIOUS. REPORT THIS SELLER! PVC is a known carcinogen and wearing a garment that releases this toxic gas is a risk. AGAIN: DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM! I don't post often but this issue has prompted me to warn other customers of the serious health hazard this apron poses. I don't have a goal either, as I'm just a regular consumer. PLEASE LISTEN TO ME: DO NOT BUY THIS APRON!
