Should I Be Worried As Her Stool Smells Very Strong And Dark In Color?

My daughter is 2 and a half. I have noticed for a while now that her pooh smells very strong and is almost like a chemical smell. The stools are dark in colour and quite hard but squashable. She is not on any medication and drinks and eats well. Is this some thing i should be worried about?
