Hair Relaxer Lawsuit
Multiple endocrine-disrupting chemicals found in many hair relaxer products have been shown to potentially cause uterine cancer.
Why are people suing hair relaxer brands?
In 2022, the Journal of the National Cancer Institute (JNCI) reported that using chemical hair relaxers was linked to an increased risk of developing uterine cancer. Based on the results of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences’ (NIEHS) Sister Study, the JNCI found that women who regularly used hair relaxers were over twice as likely to develop uterine cancer compared to women who didn’t use them.
After the JNCI’s article was published, women filed hundreds of lawsuits against many beauty brands, including big-name corporations like L’Oréal and Revlon. Plaintiffs claim that these companies failed to warn customers that their hair relaxers were linked to an increased risk of uterine cancer.
