There is an obvious pungent smell after opening the plastic water cup. Can I continue to use it after the smell dissipates?

When participating in an event, I was asked some questions by friends who also participated in the event about identifying water cups and how to use them. One of the questions was about plastic water cups. They said that they bought a very beautiful plastic water cup while shopping online and received it. When I opened it, I found that the water cup had an obvious pungent smell. Since the water cup is very beautiful, my friend thought it was because of the plastic material. Based on my previous experience of buying plastic items, I felt that the smell is normal. As long as the smell disappears by drying it, You can continue to use it. Ask me if this is okay? Will it affect your health? So the plastic water cup purchased online has a pungent smell after opening it. Can I let it sit for a while to dissipate the smell before continuing to use it?

Regarding the use of materials for water cups, there are clear requirements both in China and internationally. They must be food grade and must not cause secondary pollution during production. No matter what kind of water cup it is made of, whether it is made of stainless steel, plastic, glass, ceramics, etc., the new water cup must not have a pungent smell when it is opened. Once a pungent smell is found, it means two possibilities. First, the material is not up to standard. , Failure to use qualified materials in accordance with national or international requirements, or adding recycled materials when using materials, which is what we usually call waste. Secondly, the production environment is poor and the operations are not standardized during production, causing secondary pollution of materials during processing. When consumers buy water cups, if they find that the new water cups have a pungent smell, they must not continue to use them. The best way is to find a merchant to return or exchange the goods, or they can directly choose to complain.
