Our lawyers are helping victims seek hair relaxer settlements throughout the country. This page is about how chemical hair straighteners can cause endometrial cancer.
African American women are nearly twice as likely to die from endometrial cancer. Why? Everyone knew this. No one bothered to dig into all of the possible reasons why. Hair relaxer lawsuits allege that L’oreal (Dark & Lovely) and other makers of hair relaxers put their heads in the sand and put women at risk.

This new evidence connecting hair relaxers and endometrial cancer has prompted product liability lawsuits against cosmetic companies.
