I purchased my rugs in May 2007 and can confirm that the problem with the Pottery Barn rugs has not been resolved. I recently returned my rugs to the store where they were purchased and received a store credit for the full purchase price. An exchange for another rug would not make sense because the newer rugs smell too.

Thank you for sharing your experiences regarding the health hazards posed by exposure to Pottery Barn rugs giving off noxious odors. I too have suffered from the smell of burning rubber in my New York apartment. Until this morning I had an 8 x 10 Pottery Parn Palampore rug in my bedroom. I have been suffering from headaches and have often felt like I have been knocked out rather than having slept through the night. I agree with previous posts asking that you not pass along your problem rug to others. Protect your pets. Do not leave these rugs in basements and garages for animals. These toxic rugs cost a lot of money and should not be for sale in the United States. Please register your complaints at consumeraffairs.com.
