New medical research has found that using chemical hair relaxers can cause uterine cancer, uterine fibroids, and other hormone-related diseases. One of the leading brands of chemical hair relaxer is ORS Olive Oil Hair Relaxer, which is manufactured by a company called Namaste, LLC.

Hair relaxer lawsuits are now being filed against Namaste and other cosmetic companies by women who used their products and developed uterine cancer or other conditions.  These lawsuits claim that Namaste’s products contain harmful chemicals, including endocrine disruptors like phthalates and formaldehyde-releasing agents, which may elevate cancer risks and cause fibroids that can lead to a hysterectomy.

This post will look at the new research linking hair relaxers to uterine cancer and the lawsuits being brought against Namaste regarding its ORS Olive Oil relaxer products.

The OneWheel is an electric skateboard product made by Future Motion Inc. The OneWheel features a large single wheel in the center of the board powered by an electric motor. Some Onewheel skateboards contain an apparent defect that causes them to stop suddenly and unexpectedly in mid-motion. When this happens, it can throw the rider off and cause severe injuries.

A growing number of product liability lawsuits are being filed against Future Motion by riders injured by the sudden stop defect in the OneWheel device. These lawsuits have been consolidated into a class action MDL. Settlement talks have already begun in these lawsuits. This page will provide the latest news and updates on this litigation, as well as our predictions on the potential settlement value of these cases.

The product liability lawyers at Miller & Zois seek cases from children (and their parents) who consumed contaminated Gerber baby foods and were later diagnosed with neurologic health conditions such as autism.

According to new evidence from NIH, chemical hair relaxers can cause ovarian cancer.  The research suggests that the chemicals in hair relaxers and hair straightener products disrupt the endocrine system and increase the risk of ovarian and other hormone-related cancers.

Viread® and Truvada® are two of the first brand-name drugs developed by Gilead Sciences to treat HIV. Viread and Truvada both use tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), a new type of antiviral drug that was one of the first effective treatments for slowing HIV.
