The traps are turning yellow and any new traps are turning black. Is it going dormant for the winter or is it something else?

Most Venus Flytraps are going dormant this time of year. This means they will want a reduction in light, moisture, and heat. Check out the link I have provided for you. These guys have free care sheets on their website, plus a blog where they will answer any queries that you may have. Not understanding dormancy requirements isthe main reason people lose their carnivorous plants. I grow mine outside and let nature take it's course. Haven't lost one yet.

KeKe is right. Too much water. Let them dry out between waterings and do not fertilize them. Also keep them out of a draft. You want to try to keep the conditions constant.

It is obsorbing some chemical in the air.
Some thing in your neighbourhood may be the cause.
If you are using disposable throw it if not clean it with a
cleaning solution after asking the vendor who sold it to you.

Sounds like it's getting too much water.
