I deeply regret it. 6 months on they are still off gassing a chemically smell to the point I cannot be in the basement for more than a half hour and I am loathe to let my young kids down there. I can taste it in the air on my tounge. We keep the windows open and the humidifiers cranked. The smell is often pulled upstairs. We aired them out in the garage pre and post installation. I cannot recommend these. They are certainly not good for your health.
You sound a bit nuts / paranoid, or perhaps there was something wrong with yours. I have them and no smell from day one
