Why Are You Filing Chemical Hair Relaxers Lawsuits?

People have taken to filing Chemical Hair Relaxers or Chemical Hair Straighteners lawsuits due to their belief that these hair care products increase the chances of developing certain cancers, such as uterine cancer, Ovarian cancer,uterine fibroids, Endometrial cancer,and endometriosis. This movement was sparked by a National Institutes of Health study in 2022 which found that women who used these chemical straighteners more than four times a year had a double risk of developing uterine cancer.

The study was published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute and has prompted numerous women to take legal action against companies such as L’Oreal, Strength of Nature, and Soft Sheen.

One such woman, Jenny Mitchell, was among the first to file a lawsuit in October 2022. Jenny was 32 years old and had been diagnosed with uterine cancer. Her lawsuit stated that her cancer was caused by her exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals such as phthalates in the hair care products.
