All Purpose Rug Pad 5 ft. x 8 ft. Rectangle Interior Rug Pad

Thanks for sharing the feedback on our rug pad products. Our non-skid backing does have a distinct smell from the rubber backing. This smell is inherent to the product and is considered part of the normal process and will typically dissipate over a couple days. Last year, we received numerous complaints across all our selling channels that the odor is more than what we would normally expect. We continue to take the complaints seriously and have pursued several initiatives to determine the root cause of this stronger smell. Based on the information we received, we believe the odor was most likely contaminated dye that is added to the latex for the color. This was identified several months back by our vendor, and the dye was returned. It’s possible we have some older inventory that was not disposed of that could have been part of this isolated event. Our quality team continues the process of checking batches of inventory for the extreme odor and works to ensure these items are pulled from our shippable inventory. We understand you are unhappy with this purchase and would like to chance to make it right, please contact customer_care@mohawkind.com so we can work with you on next steps.
