Why Are People Filing Chemical Hair Relaxer Lawsuits?
People are filing chemical hair relaxer lawsuits because they claim these hair straightening products have increased the risk of uterine cancer, endometrial cancer and to a lesser extent, ovarian cancer. Women who were diagnosed with these cancers after using chemical hair relaxers may qualify to file a lawsuit.
In 2022, following a National Institutes of Health (NIH) study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, showing the risk of uterine cancer was higher in women who used chemical hair straightening products, people affected by these chemical hair relaxers began filing lawsuits.
Studies suggest that women who used these products more than four times a year had more than double the risk of uterine cancer, according to the NIH study. In addition to uterine cancer, other studies have linked chemical hair relaxers to an increased risk of uterine fibroids, endometriosis and breast cancer.
Who Is Eligible To File A Chemical Hair Relaxer Lawsuit?
You may be eligible to file a lawsuit if you used a chemical hair relaxer and received a diagnosis of uterine cancer, endometrial cancer or ovarian cancer.
NOTE: Always consult your doctor before stopping any prescribed medication.
