Hair Relaxers
Litigation for women diagnosed with uterine, ovarian, or endometrial cancer after long-term relaxer use.
Overview
Understanding Hair Relaxers cases
Chemical hair relaxers were marketed for decades — heavily to Black women — without warnings about the chemicals they contained. Lawsuits allege that long-term use of these products is associated with uterine, ovarian, and endometrial cancers, and that manufacturers knew or should have known of the risk.
For many women, relaxers were a routine part of life beginning in childhood. The litigation contends that routine came with a hidden cost that manufacturers had a duty to disclose.
If you used chemical hair relaxers regularly over a period of years and were later diagnosed with uterine, ovarian, or endometrial cancer, we can help you understand whether your experience fits this litigation.
