What the hazard tags mean
The little coloured tag on a card is a cancer-hazard rating from the World Health Organization's IARC. Important: it rates how strong the evidence is that something can cause cancer — not how risky your everyday exposure actually is. Most bedroom exposures are low. The full entry always gives the honest, in-context read.
An evolving reference — new compounds are added as the research expands. Hazard ratings reflect IARC, EPA, ECHA, Stockholm Convention and California Prop 65 classifications. No single card is a verdict on your home — tap through for the cited, in-context detail.
