Did you buy it with a warranty? Or As-Is? If you bought is As-Is (if they didn’t SAY there was a warranty, there wasn’t one) then you own it. You don’t have much recourse except to sue the seller. A lawyer can advise you.

I’d suggest you take it to another “fix-it” shop - a better one - to fix whatever is causing the fumes.
