It is made from polypropylene, which is probably the safest of all the plastics that come in contact with food. You can look up its characteristics if you are curious. This kettle is also white, so the recent concern over black plastic contamination doesn't apply to this model.
I don't remember if it smelled when I first opened it, but after you boil and discard water a couple of times it definitely won't smell anymore. It's a good idea to do this with any kettle or pot you get anyway.
This kettle is very simple and it just works. No fancy temperature modes or LCD screens. It will reliably and quickly boil your water (or whatever else you put in it if you're an adventurous type).
If you can spend more on a stainless steel kettle, you probably should do that, but keep in mind that some still have plastic lids, filters or other parts that come in contact with water. At least this kettle clearly defines what type of plastic it's made of.
Personally, I'd avoid glass kettles unless you are extremely well coordinated and don't have hard countertops. They are very cool looking, and easy to clean, but all it takes is one clumsy move to have a bunch of glass shards and boiling water all over your kitchen floor.

GE ELECTRIC KETTLE.
If you need to not touch any plastic.......
If that's the case, I'd recommend looking into (waiting for a deal?) on a hot water boiler (or urn or whatever the manufacturer wants to call them.) There's a reason many Asian households have one of these things sitting on the counter: it's really convenient to always have ≈200°F water "on tap."
Yes, they're going to be more than $8.50. Yes, you will use more electricity than boiling water on demand. But every person I know that bought their first one and started using it considers it life-changing (for the positive.)
And the interior of the "tank" is almost always stainless steel, not any sort of plastic. (The pump and tubing to get the water out may be plastic however, depending on the model.)
Sure, a Zojirushi is going to cost you at least $100. But a lesser-rated Cuckoo (or even a Tiger) can run like $50 or so and might be a good starting point.
But if you're just looking for a kettle to heat water quickly and only occasionally, clearly this $8 kettle is a better choice (plastic aside.)

Stainless steel inside but more expensive
