I have bought some plastic potato grower bags from a high street store. The bags are designed for that purpose. However when I open the bags the smell of plastic is so overwhelming. There is no indication of to what grade of plastic it is. My question is, is it safe to grow my potatoes in them?

I wouldn't have thought that they would cause a problem by tainting your potatoes. If you are still concerned then I would open them up and leave them outside to the elements for a week and the smell of plastic will disappear.

my neighbour uses them and after a couple of days she says it doesn't smell and the spuds don't taste odd. She uses them every year.
