    The product, in the report: Gorilla Carts Model # GOR200B 3 cubic foot plastic garden dump cart

    I purchased a Gorilla brand 3 cubic foot garden dump cart from Home Depot. I took it back to my home where I was assembling it inside of my garage. The smell from the thing was awful but I wanted to get it done. Eventually my wife told me that everyone was ready to go eat and that I needed to finish it later. As I got into the car, I began to feel suddenly ill with nausea. We got to the restaurant and I was so nauseated I couldn’t order and in fact couldn’t stay in the restaurant. I also began feeling light-headed in the restaurant so I went outside. By the time my family finished eating, I was finally shaking off some of the light-headedness and the nausea was not as bad. Upon getting home, I was feeling healthy again, still a little nauseated, and getting back into the garage with the product definitely began setting off the illness again.

    I believe the odor remaining on the cart was the cause of my sudden symptoms and I worry that had I not been pulled away from it by my wife, that I could have passed out in the garage and continued inhaling the fumes and possibly be injured from fall or inhalation.

    I am a physician, and the suddenness of the symptom onset and resolution make me think that exposure is the definite cause. This product needs to off-gas more before being packaged and sold. I am a very healthy 30yo. A person who is not as fortunate in their health or in their proximity to others could be seriously inured.

    Amazon reviews for the product are very significant for similar complaints. http://www.amazon.com/Gorilla-Carts-GOR200B-Pneumatic-600-Pound/product-reviews/B0026RGNJ2/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewopt_kywd?sortBy=helpful&reviewerType=all_reviews&formatType=all_formats&filterByStar=all_stars&pageNumber=1&filterByKeyword=smell
