Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your recent rug pad purchase. We apologize you are experiencing this issue. Mohawk Home takes all product complaints seriously.
Our non-skid backing can have a smell from the latex used in the manufacturing process. This smell is inherent to the product and originates from rubber trees. It is not harmful, and will typically dissipate over a few days. Our rug pads are routinely tested to ensure safety standards are met for residential home use. We apologize for the unpleasant experience, we would like an opportunity to resolve the issue. Please contact Customer_care@mohawkind.com.
