Hair Relaxer

Have recent studies revealed any serious health concerns related to hair relaxer products?

If so, millions of people who rely on hair relaxer products, trusting them to be safe for use, may be at risk. Recent studies have revealed a link between these products and uterine cancer, raising serious concerns. If you've used hair relaxers for an extended period and have been diagnosed with uterine cancer, you may be entitled to compensation through a product liability lawsuit.

Rapid Growth in Hair Relaxer MDL Cases

In June 2023, 3M Co. challenged a $50 million ruling concerning their CAEv2 earplugs, contending they should be shielded from liability as a government contractor while also introducing new questions about causation and military fitting and instruction responsibilities. However, it's widely believed that the appellate court will likely uphold the $50 million granted to U.S. Army veteran Luke Vilsmeyer, indicating that 3M's attempt to appeal could fail.

Change in Defense Counsel for Dabur International

As of September 2023, Dabur International, a primary defendant in the hair relaxer class action lawsuit MDL 23-cv-00818, has changed its defense counsel from Kirkland & Ellis LLC to Baker & McKenzie LLP. The court has also provided answers to frequently asked questions about filing a hair relaxer lawsuit in this MDL.

New Study Links Hair Relaxers to Increased Risk of Uterine Cancer

A groundbreaking study published in October 2022 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute reveals that long-term use of hair relaxers is associated with a significantly increased risk of uterine cancer. Women who used hair relaxers were more than twice as likely to be diagnosed with uterine cancer compared to non-users, and the risk was even higher for those who used the products more frequently.

This study is the first to provide epidemiologic evidence of a definitive connection between hair relaxer use and uterine cancer, which is the 4th most common cancer among women and disproportionately affects black women.
