Chemical hair relaxers have been found to interfere with hormones and contribute to major health problems, including uterine and ovarian cancer. Women across the country have filed lawsuits against the cosmetics companies that manufacture hair relaxers.  Hair relaxer lawsuits are in their early stages in the United States, and thousands of new lawsuits have been filed in courts across the country in 2023. The pretrial and discovery process are still getting started.  Women who used chemical hair relaxers and later developed cancer or another qualifying condition may be entitled to compensation.
