Use the red-to-green product guidance below to select safer product types by avoiding those in red and preferring yellow and green, which are safer for occupants, fenceline communities, and workers.

- Prefer non-vinyl flooring.
- Avoid fluorinated (PFAS-based) stain or oil repellents.
- Check the type and source of recycled content.
- Avoid products marketed as antimicrobial and claiming or implying a health benefit.
- Prefer products with a CDPH emission certification, but don’t rely on this information alone.
