The Dangerous Hair Relaxer and Hair Straightener Products
A new study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute and funded by the National Institutes of Health suggested that frequent users of chemical hair-straightening products may be more likely to develop uterine cancer than those who didn't use those products.
For black women, the risk could be as high as 45% which the study suggests is likely due to different chemicals in hair products specifically for black women’s hair texture.
The study specifically noted that chemical hair straighteners usually contain products known as endocrine disrupters, which can affect hormone-sensitive cancers
The following manufacturers have been named in lawsuits alleging that the companies knew or should have known about their health risks while they kept the products on the market:
- L’Oreal;
- SoftSheen Carson;
- Strength of Nature;
- Dabur; and,
- Namaste Laboratories.
In addition, the L’Oréal chemical hair straightener and relaxer products named in lawsuits include:
- Dark & Lovely;
- Motions;
- Organic Root Stimulator; and,
- Olive Oil Relaxer.
The Shield Legal Network team offers victims diagnosed with cancer after using hair relaxers and hair straightening products a free, private case evaluation to seek justice and potential compensation.
