Hair Relaxer/ Straightener Litigation

Hair Relaxer/Straightener Litigation Attorneys

If you or your loved one have used hair relaxers or straighteners and been diagnosed with uterine or ovarian cancer, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit against the manufacturers of these products.

Some women have developed uterine or ovarian cancer related to their use of hair relaxers or straighteners. By filing lawsuits, victims may be compensated for their pain and suffering, medical expenses due to cancer diagnosis and treatments, and lost income or wages as a result of their cancer prognosis.

Hair relaxers and straighteners are a predominant exposure pathway to various endocrine-disrupting chemicals such as formaldehyde and have been associated with hormone-sensitive cancers including uterine and ovarian cancers in epidemiological studies. Recent peer-reviewed studies involving tens of thousands of women have found more than a two-fold increase in risk of uterine and ovarian cancers associated with frequent use of hair relaxers and straighteners.* Importantly, this increase in risk remained statistically significant even after controlling for a number of confounders known to be independent risk factors for uterine and ovarian cancers.

You may be eligible to file a hair relaxer lawsuit if you:

Used hair relaxers or straighteners
Later developed uterine or ovarian cancer
