HALON production was halted in the USA several years ago. Not sure why. The
manufacturers and distributors were allowed to sell what was made and on the
shelf. And were then supposed to replace with a different product.

Halon is good for putting out fires but is deadly in a confined area. Not something you really want in a cockpit.

Hmmm, all this talk about the effectiveness and high cost of halon systems
gets me to thinking; While building my last plane, I bought a complete
Halon system, complete with a 10# sealed cylinder. I never installed it,
but still have the whole system in a box. I suppose I ought to either
install the thing or put it on EBAY, huh? Anyone know what this thing is
worth? The fiberglass resin killed all the brain cells that remembered
such.....

Actually, Halon is the only acceptable fire extinguisher for aircraft. It
may have
toxic combustion products, but it's far safer than the others in
confined spaces.

believe,

They aren't banned in the US, but the production of any new halon
was banned world wide some time ago, so as supplies shrink, the
prices of halon extinguishers goes through the roof.

Typical political knee jerk reaction. Halogenated hydrocarbons are
EVIL, (Partularly bominated hydrocarbons, like those used in fire
extinguishers.) therefore they should be banned, even if people
burn because of it.
