Manufacturers knew chemical hair relaxers were dangerous — and said nothing to the millions of women who trusted their products.

A landmark NIH study found that women who frequently used chemical hair straightening products were more than twice as likely to develop uterine cancer. Despite this research, manufacturers continued selling these products without adequate cancer warnings on their labels.

What Is the Hair Relaxer Lawsuit?

The hair relaxer lawsuit involves legal claims filed by women who regularly used chemical hair straightening or relaxer products and subsequently developed uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, or other serious conditions. These cases target major manufacturers including L'Oréal, Revlon, SoftSheen-Carson, and others.

Cases are consolidated in a federal Multi-District Litigation (MDL) in the Northern District of Illinois under Judge Mary Rowland. Plaintiffs allege that manufacturers knew about the cancer risks associated with the chemicals in their products — including phthalates and other endocrine-disrupting compounds — but failed to warn consumers.

Hair Relaxer Lawsuit Timeline & Settlements

The hair relaxer MDL has been growing rapidly since cases were first consolidated in 2023. Bellwether trials are being scheduled to help establish settlement benchmarks. MDL proceedings of this scale typically span several years, with settlements or verdicts reached as scientific evidence and case volume build.
