I just recieved a nice Product that I bought for my daughter!! Everything went well excpet when I opened the bag up that the leo was in (I bought a leotard for my dd)
it smelled soo bad of smoke I actually felt sick!! (I just looked at the auction and it said nothing of smoke smell ) it said that it was EUC)
I just didnt even think to ask if it came from smoke free!!
I have it in the wash now hoping I can rid the leo of the smoke smell!!
anyhow Would you tell the person Who sold this? Like I said other than the smell everything was good!!

or is it my fault!!

If you didn't ask, and it wasn't mentioned, I would just chalk it up to a learning experience. You might say in your feedback, "Excellent buy, but wish I had asked about smoking..my fault"...kind of thing, just to give others warning. BTW...if washing it doesn't take it out, I still swear by my lava rocks (in the pet dept. at WalMart)! I've never had a smell NOT come out when using these!

I always assume that things may smell like smoke unless it states it is coming from a smoke-free home as I have never seen an auction that states the item reeks like smoke. I wouldn't mention it in the feeback.

I agree with the previous poster. I as a seller would always appreciate an email stating your problem so that I could also be aware to mention that it comes from a smoking home ! Just a thought!

I bought some clothes a while back and the same thing happened to me!! But, sometimes smokers dont notice the smell and assume others dont either (my Mom is this way.) So now I just ask specifically. and one washing took the smell out.
