Review on 🐱 Ware Manufacturing CWM12003 Corrugated Replacement Scratcher Pads Double Wide - 2-Pack Title by Ramon Parra

I've bought them before and had no problems. This time I bought 2 packs (2 scrapers per pack) to stock up and get a better deal (I can't always find this type of product in our local pet store). Unfortunately I didn't need them right away and opened them after they couldn't be returned. As soon as I took it out of the plastic wrapper/wrapping, I was attacked by a horrible smell that most closely resembles the smell of feces. It's so strong that I had to take it out of the house and into the garage to try to air it out. You've been there for over 8 hours and the smell is still so strong that you can smell it as soon as you open the door. We're trying to treat them with a pet-friendly odor eliminator in hopes of saving them. If we don't get rid of the smell, they all have to go in the bin. I don't know if it was a "bad batch" or what. I went online to look at other reviews and so far I've only found two that mentioned the smell. Good product but I can't give it more than 1 star as it will most likely have to be thrown away.
