MacBook charging cord smells like mold

I've recently bought a new Macbook Pro. And as soon I open the box I had i noticed a overwhelming smell of mold. I thought it was the packaging and that the smell would go away. I soon noticed it was the charging cord that had the smell. It's been three weeks and the smell hasn't gone. Can I get it replaced because it smells really bad. Wherever I set it down the smell follows.
