Has any plumbing work been done in the kitchen?

Well we have recently installed the facet, but it took about month for this problem to start occurring. But besides that nothing in the last 5 ish years

Search this plumbing form for similar problem. I did a brief search but couldn't it but there have previous post about this problem. Problem seems to be a hose that is used on a certain brand of faucet. Don't remember the brand, may have been Moen.

Would I replace the hose or it it harmful? Or it is safe?

Have you removed the aerator and ran the water. Did it still smell? Let me know, Tom
