About the Chemical Hair Relaxers litigation
Chemical hair relaxers and straighteners have been marketed for decades, primarily to Black women, as safe beauty products. In 2022, a National Institutes of Health study found that women who used chemical straightening products frequently had a significantly higher risk of developing uterine cancer.
Lawsuits allege that relaxer products contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals, including phthalates, that interfere with hormones and increase the risk of uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, and uterine fibroids — and that manufacturers failed to warn consumers.
If you used chemical hair relaxers regularly and were later diagnosed with uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, or endometrial cancer, you may be eligible to file a claim. The case review is free and confidential.
