Before you all go GAGA on this check with HD and ask them if this special contains Ortho Pthalate plasticizers. Box stores are have "Great Price" specials to eliminate these products from their inventory. HD has made a promise on the net to eliminate them by year end. Google it! and you will find links to a company who tested products from many companies this year as to what did or did not have them. NOT ALL VINYL PRODUCTS ARE AFFECTED. In fact many are not but just be aware.
Today, Dec 14, 2015, Home Depot is once again having a one day special on vinyl plank flooring; link above will take you to the offer page.
As to the concerns raised by
@Keith Lewis, here is a link to an article concurring with his statement about the phase out of that chemical by Home Depot - but read the link to get the full story. Seems Home Depot is more environmentally conscious on this matter than some of HD's competitors:

No doubt they were one of the first to come out. I do find it interesting that none of their products were tested or at least listed in the article. I applaud their initiative but you might not know that since that article most of the Big Box Stores are striving to accomplish the same. You might also note that the older more established manufacturers for the most part tested clean(Armstrong for example). What you might also notice is that was the thinner cheaper products that tested worse not the higher qualities. I've had that article on my desk for many months.
@Steve Babiak thanks for the link. Just bought 800square ft of this stuff. I tried to visit the store to see the product in person, but unfortunately they did not carry the wide smoke silver planks. Hopefully it looks good in person. I did see they have a 90 return policy if not satisfied.
