Not banned by the US. Many of the countries that did sign a ban also have stockpiles of these munitions.

“The Defense Department had been due by 2019 to stop use of any cluster munitions with a rate of unexploded ordnance greater than 1%. But the Trump administration rolled back that policy, allowing commanders to approve use of such munitions.”
