Women who have used hair relaxers during their lives face an increased risk for both uterine cancer and breast cancer. Manufacturers have known for years that ingredients in hair relaxers are carcinogenic and endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). Critics say manufacturers had a responsibility to warn the public of the risk of breast cancer and ovarian cancer from hair relaxers. Additionally, safe alternatives have been readily available, yet women were unaware of the risk they were taking. As a result, millions of women have been exposed to a heightened risk for deadly cancer from hair relaxer treatment.
Women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer or uterine cancer and have a history of exposure to chemical hair relaxers are seeking clarification of the qualifications required to participate in a hair relaxer cancer lawsuit. Our law firm offers free, no-obligation, confidential consultations to anyone who feels they may have a claim, but we have outlined the basic qualifications in this section. In general, these are factors that are considered in each hair relaxer lawsuit claim.
Hair Relaxer Exposure: Research shows that women who use hair relaxers are at risk for developing breast cancer and uterine cancer. As many as 90% of Black women report having used hair relaxers some time during their lifetime, often starting at a young age, before puberty. Many hair relaxers contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) which alter natural hormone levels and are known to cause cancer. If you or a loved one was exposed to chemical hair relaxers, you may be eligible to file a hair relaxer lawsuit.
Frequency of Use: The more often a person has their hair relaxed, the higher their risk for developing breast cancer or uterine cancer. Women who use hair relaxers every 5-8 weeks face the highest risk for cancer. Anyone using hair relaxers at least four times per year may be eligible to file a hair relaxer cancer lawsuit.
Cancer Diagnosis: Breast cancer and uterine cancer have been linked to regular hair relaxer use. Many hair relaxers contain known carcinogens and EDCs such as formaldehyde, phthalates, estrogens and parabens. These substances are often included in a broad category of ingredients such as “fragrance” or “perfumes”, and consumers of hair relaxers have no idea of the risk for cancer from hair relaxers. Women who have developed breast cancer or uterine cancer may be eligible to file a hair relaxer cancer lawsuit.
For women and family members of women who meet these qualifications, it is likely you will be eligible to file a hair relaxer lawsuit for breast cancer or uterine cancer. There are multiple reasons to file a claim. First, hair relaxer cancer lawyers believe individuals who have suffered from breast cancer or uterine cancer from hair relaxer exposure may be eligible for significant compensation for medical expenses, missed work, pain, suffering, and loss associated with hair relaxer cancer.
No fees unless you are awarded compensation.
Chemical hair relaxer products such as Dark & Lovely and Motions have been found to cause uterine cancer in women. Research shows that women who regularly use hair relaxer products experience ovarian cancer twice as often as other women, due to the presence of harmful and carcinogenic substances. Critics say manufacturers have been aware of the danger of uterine cancer from hair relaxers for years, and that safe alternatives were readily available.
In pursuit of profit, manufacturers have continued to market hair relaxers containing cancer-causing substances, never warning consumers of the risk. Attorneys handling hair relaxer uterine cancer lawsuits believe women and family members of women who have suffered from hair relaxer uterine cancer may be eligible for significant compensation. This page provides a comprehensive look at uterine cancer from hair relaxers.

No fees unless you are awarded compensation.
Women and family members of women who have suffered from hair relaxer cancer wonder if filing a hair relaxer cancer lawsuit will result in meaningful compensation for their family. Based on our experience as leaders in ovarian cancer cases for carcinogens in talcum powder, our attorneys believe these cases may result in significant compensation. In the most prominent cases, plaintiffs were awarded compensation as high as $55 million, $70 million, $72 million, and even $110 million.
No fees unless you are awarded compensation.
The increased risk of cancer comes from the various chemicals found in hair straighteners and relaxers. Lye, or sodium hydroxide, was the main focus of the Boston University study and is a chemical found in bleach, aluminum, and public water treatment plants. Bisphenol A helps manufacture polycarbonate plastic for compact disks, beverage containers, and vehicle parts. Formaldehyde is often found in multiple products and is classified as a known carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). These are just a handful of chemicals found in most hair-relaxing and straightening products.
These chemicals can be classified as endocrine disruptors, meaning they disrupt the natural production of developmental, reproductive, immunity, and neurological hormones. They are slow to break down and are extremely hazardous to the environment. Even small doses of these disruptors can have adverse health effects on the body. It is unknown what continued and routine exposure can cause.
The most common injuries likely associated with hair relaxers and straightener chemicals are:
These injuries mostly occur in women of color who are more likely to start using straightening or relaxing products at an earlier age and therefore more frequently throughout their lifetime.
Women who use hair-straightening products are more than twice as likely to develop uterine cancer, a disease that kills nearly 13,000 women each year in the United States, according to a major study released recently.
If you or someone you love used hair-straightening products and developed uterine cancer, you may have grounds for a lawsuit. Contact us for a free evaluation of your case.
No fees unless you are awarded compensation.
Uterine cancer is the fourth most common form of cancer in the United States, with 65,000 new cases diagnosed each year. Women who use straighteners have a higher risk of developing uterine cancer, and their risk goes up the more they have used the product in the past. Overall, Black women also have a poorer prognosis when diagnosed with uterine cancer than other women with uterine cancer.
Symptoms include:
Uterine cancer is just one of many life-threatening health conditions that resulted from exposure to hair relaxers. Sadly, many people have already passed away from their illnesses.
Other health conditions and cancers linked to hair relaxer usage include:

Women who regularly apply hair relaxer chemicals to others also face a heightened risk for uterine cancer and breast cancer.
We will always listen to your circumstances and give you our analysis of your case without any cost or further obligation.
If a member of your family suffered a serious injury or health problem as a result of a defective product or dangerous drug, long-term, or even life-long, medical care may be required. This could be incredibly expensive and since medical costs are continually rising may be largely unknown at the time of settlement or trial. If a member of your family died due to a defective product or dangerous drug, no amount of money can undo that wrong. It is our fervent hope that every defective products, drug or other medication lawsuit we file can serve to make the manufacturer take note of the loss and pain its product has caused. When that fails to make a company take action in the form of a product recall, greater warnings about its use and ultimately making safer products, we rely on their profit motivation to make them do the right thing. Unfortunately, in all too many cases it is only the fear of lawsuits and large settlements and verdicts that makes a company become a better corporate citizen.
If you or a loved one was diagnosed with cancer after using hair relaxer, you could be eligible for compensation.
