How to sanitize the document.referrer in java script based apps

I am trying to sanitize the document.referror in the react component like below. However, the Checkmarx security scanning tool complains about it. I tried sanitize-html also but did not work. Any ideas?

const checkURL = string => {
  try { 
    return new URL(string)
      }
  catch (error) 
    { return 'invalid' }
}

<MyComponent
 action={()=>window.location.href = checkURL(document.referrer)+"/Home" }
</MyComponent>

Checkmarx: Client-DOM error:

This untrusted data is embedded straight into the output without proper sanitization or encoding, enabling an attacker to inject malicious code into the output.
