In many countries, carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) fire extinguishers are no longer legal to own or sell due to the substance's harmful environmental and health effects, including its classification as a carcinogen and ozone-depleting agent. Regulations vary by region, so it's important to check local laws and regulations regarding the possession of such extinguishers. In general, safer alternatives are now recommended for fire suppression.
