Chemical hair relaxer lawsuits

What the hair relaxer lawsuits claim

Women who used chemical hair straightening or relaxing products have sued the manufacturers. The lawsuits say regular use is linked to uterine cancer, ovarian cancer and endometriosis, and that the products'' ingredients and risks were not properly disclosed.

Who may be able to take part

• You used chemical relaxers or straighteners regularly, often starting young
• You were later diagnosed with uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, endometriosis or uterine fibroids
• A close family member died after that kind of diagnosis and use

Only a lawyer can tell you whether you have a claim, and time limits vary by state.

What helps a law firm review your situation

Which products or salon treatments you used and for how long, your diagnosis and its date, and where you were treated.

What these claims cover

Medical treatment, fertility-related costs, lost income, pain and suffering, and the effect on family life. No one can promise an outcome or an amount; every case is different.
