First test i would try out is rubbing it to warm for a few seconds and smell. Looking for formaldihyde smell (think science classes in elementary school when dissecting things). Running under warm water also will do the trick instead of rubbing.

MAKE SURE you rinse them super well after testing if you are using 409.
