Wet Brush Plush Kid's Detangler (Narwhal Unicorn)

Take this with a grain of salt if ordering this item from a seller other than E%26L Retail LLC, but this item arrived ABSOLUTELY REEKING TO HIGH HEAVEN OF CIGARETTES!!! Yes, you read that correctly, a brand new CHILDREN'S item that came reeking of CIGARETTES. I didn't discover it until I opened the outer packaging because the outer packaging didn't smell (so I knew it couldn't possibly have happened in transit), then I quickly had to bag it up and seal it to keep the smell from emanating into the rest of my house. The plushie also bent many of the bristles inwards, so I'm hoping that they will unbend with time (this isn't my first Wet Brush, so likely they would), but, if I can't get rid of the smell, I'll never find out whether they'll unbend or not because I will be returning this.
