Samsung being a shit company aside, this "really strong" chemical smell is just going to be a burnt out fan motor / hot joint in a cable causing the insulation to smolder / some food spilt over the defrost heater / or something equally benign.

There's just nothing in a domestic fridge that can cause a whole house full of people to get all these mysterious symptoms. Any bets on the "racing heart rate" and what not being a panic attack brought on by getting all flustered?
