That's the reputation of "made in China" products. They often use materials that look right but are wrong.
Chinese authorities or European customs have on many occasions had to forbid specific products since they did not only smell toxic, the WERE toxic!
And some of these matters were serious like toxic childs clothes or toys.
We know babies like to suck their toys... imagine that toy football is toxic, that's dramatic!
Just a sad example (one of many):

I have never witnessed this before. Is it possibly the ice mold that ordered? It could be the method of delivery. Does this usually happen when you order items from China?
Because they use cheap materials to make, toxic and harmful chemicals and cheap plastic. And after using it for a while you'll see it'll break or it'll be damaged and as a result it'll become useless.

Not "all" things made in China smell bad.
My tv smells alright.
It's probably made with bpa, I'd suggest investing in bpa free plastics, better for you and don't have the smell.
Toxic chemicals, of course.
