I noticed that, too, with a rubber tug toy I bought my dog - he took one bite of it then looked at me like “Ewww”. I’d try soaking it in some soapy water - maybe even stick it in a pillow case and run it through your washer. I’ve noticed with toys like this the smell often dissipates so maybe it’s something you can soak off. But then again, you may end up with it tasting like soap if it’s porous.
Course the better option might be to just return it - especially since the dogs won’t be too disappointed since it’s not something they’ve been playing with.
