What Is The Hair Relaxer Lawsuit?
The Hair Relaxer Lawsuit involves legal claims filed by women who used chemical hair straighteners and relaxers for years and later developed reproductive cancers and hormone-related illnesses. These lawsuits allege that manufacturers failed to warn users about the serious risks associated with long-term use of their products.
Recent research—including a landmark 2022 study by the National Institutes of Health—shows that women who frequently used hair relaxers were more than twice as likely to develop uterine cancer compared to those who didn’t.
