red tag

Discount label indicator

A red tag marks something for special attention—usually removal, discount, or danger.

In retail, red tags signal clearance prices: The red tag sale starts Friday.

In safety contexts, red-tagging equipment means marking it as hazardous or out of service until repaired.

To red-tag a building is to condemn it as unsafe for occupancy.
