    The product, in the report: gel pillow purchased a Sam’s Club federal id # [REDACTED]

    pillow was purchased from Sam’s Club in Mooresville, NC on Saturday and last night I keep smelling a distict chemical smell.....I turned my head and asked my husband if he smelled it,,,yes he said it is the new gel pillow we bought...

    I immediatly took both pillows and threw them into the next room and advised that this was probably dangerous......

    Why [REDACTED] would the federal government let this product out into the public.......what are the ingredients in this pillow...........I know for a fact you pillow should not smell like chemicals............

    [REDACTED] RIGHT I AM MAD AND I WILL NOW START MY QUEST TO RID THE USA OF ALL PRODUCTS BROUGHT IN FROM CHINA...............I thought this was the job of the government agency..but we can all see that nothing is being done by them except getting the hands on money from the Chinese Government.........
