A study performed by researchers from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) was published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute in October 2022, warning that ingredients used in hair relaxers may cause uterine cancer.  The study revealed women who routinely used hair relaxer chemical products were nearly 3x more likely to have developed uterine cancer by the age of 70 when compared to women who never used chemical relaxer products.


As a result of manufacturers misrepresentation and failure to warn consumers about the link between hair relaxers and cancer, settlement benefits may now be available for you and your family.  That’s where we can help.

WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR

For years, a growing body of medical research has been published by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) and peer reviewed medical journals, raising concerns about the side effects of hair relaxer products. The studies have identified several toxic chemicals frequently used in hair relaxers that may cause cancer.


The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) sets forth laws under the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act that expressly prohibits the marketing or sale of cosmetic products from containing poisonous or harmful substances that could cause injury to a consumer. However, many cosmetic manufacturers mislabel their hair relaxer or omit these toxins from the ingredients labels, withholding important safety information from consumers.


Some of the common allegations raised in lawsuits include:


  • Failure to adequately research the link between toxins used in relaxers and cancer;
  • Failure to warn about the increased risk of uterine cancer, breast cancer and other side effects from hair relaxer products;
  • Providing false and misleading labeling information about the safety of hair relaxer products for women;
  • Failure to issue hair relaxer recalls to ensure consumers were aware of the cancer and health risks.

HOW DO HAIR RELAXERS & STRAIGHTENERS CAUSE CANCER?

In recent years multiple studies have been published that suggest a possible link between hair relaxers and cancer risks.


Researchers have warned many hair relaxer products contain as many as 5,000 chemicals, many of which are classified as toxic, including, but not limited to;

  • Formaldehyde
  • Phthalates
  • Di-2-ethylhexylphthalate (DEHP)
  • Cyclosiloxanes
  • Bisphenol A
  • Parabens
  • Other harmful toxins and volatile organic compounds (VOCs)

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU WERE AFFECTED?

Individuals who routinely used chemical hair relaxers and straighteners and have been diagnosed or experienced any of the following cancers or conditions may be eligible to pursue a claim.

  • Breast Cancer
  • Uterine Cancer
  • Endometrial Cancer
  • Ovarian Cancer
  • Uterine Fibroids
  • Uterine Sarcoma
  • Endometriosis
