Don’t worry, the zips on your beanbag aren’t broken. For child safety reasons, the outside zipper pull has been intentionally removed before shipment. If you need to open your bag, simply use a paperclip to pull it open. Detailed instructions can be found on the warning labels attached to your beanbag. This release of these chemicals into the air is a process known technically as off-gassing. The smell is normal and there is nothing wrong with the foam. Some people are more sensitive than others and hence for them it may last longer. The smell will diminish over time.
