red tags

Clearance price labels

Red tags are markers indicating items for removal, discount, or special status.

In retail, red tags signal clearance pricing: Everything with a red tag is 50% off.

In safety and construction, a red tag warns that equipment is dangerous or out of service.

In disaster triage, red tags identify victims needing immediate medical attention.

To red-tag something is to mark it for any of these purposes.
