Default Smelly bungs

Has anyone had any problems with off odors using some of these new
rubber bungs? I've recently purchased them from several suppliers, but
they all seem to have a very strong rubber smell. It is so strong that
after removing the bung on a carboy of wine, the only thing I could
smell was the rubber bung. My concern is that they will leave off
odors/tastes in the finished wine.

Anyone else have similar concerns?
