On October 17, 2022, a pivotal study published by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences found a direct link between the use of chemical hair relaxers and a heightened risk of uterine cancer.

   

Women who frequently used hair relaxers more than doubled their risk, with the study showing an increase from 1.64% to 4.05% by age 70. Toxic chemicals in these products, such as parabens, phthalates, metals, and formaldehyde, disrupt hormones and have been linked to the development of cancer.

What You Need to Know

Frequent use of chemical hair relaxers exposes women to harmful, cancer-causing chemicals. These products are applied near the scalp and must sit for long periods to activate, increasing the likelihood of chemical burns and absorption of toxic substances.

The repeated application of these relaxers over time escalates the risk of hormone-dependent cancers like uterine and ovarian cancer. 

Holding Companies Accountable

The hair relaxer lawsuit is giving women the chance to take action against companies that prioritized profit over safety. These cosmetic companies, including manufacturers of popular brands like Motions, Dark & Lovely, Optimum, and Just for Me, marketed their products as safe, without warning consumers of the severe health risks involved. Women across the country are standing up to hold these manufacturers accountable for promoting dangerous products without proper safety warnings.

Please fill out a form and we will evaluate your case. If you qualify, we will help you file a hair relaxer lawsuit against the manufacturer of the product that you used. 
  • Which hair relaxing products have been linked to cancer? Research is currently being conducted to identify the specific carcinogens responsible for injury and the full spectrum of individual products and brands that may contribute to this injury. We advise women who are using these products to lessen the frequency of use or stop using hair relaxing/straightening products altogether until this research is finalized. We will update this page as soon as we can definitively advise on the most harmful products.
