Hair Relaxers
Hair relaxers and chemical hair straightening products have been linked to an increased risk of cancer and other serious health conditions. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, or another health condition after using hair relaxers, The Cheek Law Firm is here to help you seek justice and compensation.
What is a Hair Relaxer?
Hair relaxers are chemical products used to straighten curly or textured hair. They work by breaking down protein bonds in hair strands, often containing phthalates and other harsh chemicals that can be hazardous to health. Various hair relaxer products from different manufacturers may be part of these claims, including L'Oréal, ORS Olive Oil Hair Relaxer, TCB Naturals, Cantu Beauty, Strength of Nature Motions, and more.
Associated Risks and Diagnoses:
Research has shown that women who use hair relaxers multiple times a year are more likely to develop hormone-sensitive cancers and health conditions, including:
Uterine cancer
Ovarian cancer
Endometrial cancer
Breast cancer
Uterine fibroids
Unfortunately, Black and African American women are disproportionately affected due to higher prevalence and frequency of use, younger age of first use, and harsher chemical formulations in products marketed to them.
