Talk to a Minneapolis Attorney for Hair Relaxer Lawsuits

Popular Hair Products Linked to Serious Health Problems

Chemical hair straighteners (hair relaxers) have been used by women for generations in the United States. In particular, these products have been popular among Black women, many of whom may have adjusted their look to accommodate workplace standards that discouraged natural hairstyles. Dark & Lovely (L’Oreal) and TCB Naturals are well-known examples of these products.   

Unfortunately, the long-term use of straighteners has been linked by some researchers to an imbalance of estrogen in the body and an increased risk of breast cancers, ovarian cancers and uterine (usually endometrial) cancers. These incidences of gynecological disease tend to affect post-menopausal women the most.

Hair Straighteners and Cancer Lawsuits: An Experienced Lawyer Can Answer Your Questions

If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with endometrial cancer (cancer of the lining of the uterus), breast cancer, ovarian cancer or another cancer that you believe is connected to the regular use (over a period of years) of straighteners or relaxers, you may be able to obtain financial compensation.
