Hair Relaxer Lawsuit Information

Recent studies have linked chemical hair relaxers to serious health problems, including cancer and reproductive issues like uterine fibroids. These relaxers contain harmful chemicals that may disrupt your body’s hormone system, potentially leading to severe illnesses.

How Hair Relaxers Cause Harm

Hair relaxers contain chemicals like phthalates, including DEHP, which are known to interfere with hormones and are linked to cancer. These chemicals enter your body through cuts or burns on your scalp and can cause long-term damage.
