very strong rubber smell, not pleasant - the room must be aired at the beginning - but what I find worse is that here not even a decent valve is installed to be able to hit the ball inflate properly, there are indeed 3 locking pins present but none of the a installed valve has that in ball there can be left one must always advance the inflator draw of course again comes out a lot of air - I find for this price not well done - here the manufacturer should urgently a decent slug or occlusive installing mechanism or enclose at least - a Valve is indeed there when you, however this can be indoors it is below 3 cm out - if one is draufsitzt the floor scratched - in the opposite direction, the valve is in not possible because it blocks the air in one direction only - here should be improved as I said , Also there is nothing to this how to use the plugs for no supplement nix. mfg B.
