Mildew Smell

This seems like a good peel and I'm sure it would have worked fine, but I am having to return it. As soon as I opened the box I was hit with a strong mildew smell, like the smell old books have. It was coming from the wood handle. I tried washing it, but it did not help. I have mildew allergies and reacted as soon as I opened it. I checked reviews and found some others that stated the same thing. Not sure if it is from where it was stored or what.
