Hair Relaxer Class Action Lawsuit

Last year, a new study by NIH revealed that regular use of chemical hair relaxer products can significantly increase the risk of uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, and other hormone-related diseases. The publication of this study has been followed by a growing wave of hair relaxer product liability lawsuits by women who have used hair relaxer products for years and were diagnosed with one of these conditions.

The hair relaxer lawsuits are probably going to be consolidated into a new class action MDL sometime this week. In this post, we will look at how the hair relaxer litigation has unfolded so far, discuss the most recent developments, and explain what to expect from this developing mass tort in 2023.
