Have you ever been around a strong smell that made you sick? If the plastic smells that strongly, it is sending off molecules of something -- I'd worry about it. You might leave the crate outside for a week or so, but you need something now. Unless you are really strapped for cash, I'd get a new kennel even if they don't take back the plastic one. You might try a metal crate with a crate cover to give your pup privacy. They come with a tray to make cleaning easier -- or you could use an easily-cleaned mat.
