Try hanging it over a clothes-horse to let it air or better still hang it outside tomorrow, weather permitting. Where did you buy it?

dooovet is not wet, nor damp,. ducks are waterproof...aren't they?
Seriously, it came in a vacuum sealed bag, hopefully the smell will fade...

I've got a feather one, and it certainly didn't stink. Did you get it from a reputable place? Mine was from John Lewis.
