  Only in the proper context. For instance, it’s perfectly fine to say, “The foam retarded the fire as designed and saved many lives.”

  If you’re meaning the former disability-related meaning that is now widely considered offensive when applied to a person, why would you possibly want to? There are more appropriate words to use.
