Jarrow Krill Oil is one of my usual supplements. I have not experienced odor problems in the past. I e-mailed vitacost.com customer service, but they have not responded.
Should I toss them out and re-order? Should I attempt to get vitacost to make good on the order? Is a strong smell maybe not a sign of anything?
Advice?

Are these gel capsules? Is it possible that one has broken/punctured, releasing the contents (and smell)? I've had some fish oil capsules in the past that were fine (maybe a slight odor in the bottle) until one broke in the bottle... then WHEW! STINKO! It also made the rest of them oily/greasy, which may be a further clue.
Unfortunately you can't wash the rest of them off once this happens!
I don't know if that's what's happened or not - just something to consider.
