A person replied to my comment on the moto g group , according to him this is just plastic smell

If you or your friends have a Moto G 2014, Kindly smell the headphone jack,usb jack, battery you will probably find a plastic burning smell.
I have requested for a replacement ,And I got this with very very low usage, I Din't even insert my sim card nor sd card.Just listened some music and light gaming(2048,Ski safari)
Now if it's still there in the new device what shall I do?
many users are reporting this.
