Hair Relaxer Cancer Victims Are Coming Forward By The Hundreds To Seek Justice

A mass tort cancer lawsuit could grow to 100,000 hair relaxer victims or more

Monday, March 27, 2023 - As I have alluded to in earlier articles, the responsibility of warning about the dangers of using chemical hair straighteners and relaxers rests in beauty salons. Hair relaxer lawsuit claims have been filed against major beauty companies like Loreal, Revlon, Soft Sheen, Strength of Nature Global, and Namaste Laboratories, LLC alleging that toxic chemicals in their hair relaxers led to an increased risk of uterine cancer. Most hair relaxer treatments are by a professional hairdresser in a beauty salon. Influential websites and social media influencers on Tik Tok, Facebook, Instagram, and other popular platforms should also take up the cause because executives at Loreal, Revlon, and other billion-dollar beauty product sellers have failed to list the dangerous ingredients contained in their hair straighteners. Companies have been caught cooking their books concerning failing to reveal dangerous, endocrine system-disrupting chemicals called phthalates within the innocuous description of fragrances. Blacknews.com, a socially-responsible news website is calling attention to the problem of poisonous hair relaxers and encouraging Black women to take action in an article titled: "Black Women Who Use Toxic Hair Relaxers Entitled To Financial Compensation." In the article, a personal injury lawyer writes, "Recent scientific evidence has pointed to a link between the use of chemical hair relaxers and the development of certain types of cancer.

This hair relaxer uterine cancer lawsuit, along with other related claims, will pave the way for victims to pursue a hair relaxer cancer lawsuit." More than 100 personal injury lawsuits have been filed against Loreal, Revlon, and others for failing to warn the public of what they knew or had a responsibility to know about the toxins in their product. Cosmetics companies have the added burden of being expected to alert the public with unambiguous product warning labels since the industry is self-regulating, meaning that a company does not need pre-market approval by the Food and Drug Administration before offering a cosmetic for sale to the public. Companies are expected to use the latest and best scientific data to make responsible decisions about the safety of their product. The corporate conduct of manufacturers of hair relaxers has been reprehensible in light of the scientific studies released showing a relationship to developing uterine cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and other reproductive system diseases from using the product regularly over time.

Many hair relaxer victims are Black women who claim that they were the target of advertising from the time they were 12 years old. Many are now developing cancer and looking for answers as they have lived otherwise healthy lives and have no history of cancer in their family. Local attorneys are signing up clients with hair relaxer cancer to participate in multidistrict litigation (MDL) where much of the case facts like the defendants, the products, and the types of diseases overlap with one another. ChicagoCrusader.com reports, "An attorney representing plaintiffs in a large lawsuit against manufacturers of hair relaxers said she already has 200 claims from women who allege the products damaged their health. In an interview with the Crusader, Attorney April Preyar, a Chicago native, says her firm Wallace and Miller are reviewing the claims as part of a mass tort lawsuit against companies that make and sell hair relaxers."
