The Hair Straightener Cancer Lawsuit is ongoing.
On May 22, the plaintiffs in the litigation filed a master complaint. A master complaint takes the similar allegations from every case in the multidistrict litigation (MDL) and combines them onto a single document, allowing for current and new cases with corresponding allegations to be organized as one. By combining hundreds of individual cases through a master complaint, the MDL pre-trial process becomes simpler and more efficient.
Each individual case will have to submit an individual short-form complaint, which refers a plaintiff’s single case to the overarching master complaint in the litigation. This filing of the master complaint indicates pre-trial processes will begin to move more quickly.

More and more cases are being added to the Hair Relaxer MDL, which is centralized in the US District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The litigation is targeting manufacturers and distributors of hair products that contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that have been linked to cancer, specifically uterine cancer risk.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University conducted a study on Black and Hispanic hairdressers, finding that many have been exposed to hazardous chemicals in hair products that may increase the risk for developing cancer. The impacts of toxic chemicals in hair relaxers and other hair products is not limited to those who have the products applied to their hair. Hair stylists and hairdressers who frequently use these products may also be at an increased risk for cancer.
The Hair Relaxer Lawsuit is ongoing and lawyers across the country are accepting new clients.
More and more Hair Relaxer Lawsuits are being consolidated into multidistrict litigation (MDL 3060) in the US District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. As mentioned in last month’s update, the ability for new claimants to file directly into the MDL will help us to better understand how many claims are out there and the pace at which they are filed.
We are expecting the Hair Relaxer Lawsuit to be significant as millions of women have used these products for decades, and until recently, may have been unaware that the usage of chemical hair straightening products could have contributed to uterine cancer diagnoses.
If you or a loved one used Hair Relaxers, Chemical Hair Straighteners, or other Hair Straightening Products and subsequently developed Uterine Cancer or other linked medical conditions, you may be eligible to file a Hair Relaxer Lawsuit.

Several notable studies have been published in the last decade on the links between the use of chemical straighteners and increased risk of uterine cancer, breast cancer, and other health conditions.
These studies have been organized and executed by some of the top universities and health research institutions in the world.
The National Institute Of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) conducted a health study for more than a decade called the “Sister Study“, which originally looked at risk factors for breast cancer.
Published in October 2022, “Hair straightening chemicals associated with higher uterine cancer risk” found that women who reported frequent use of hair straightening products, defined as more than four times in the previous year, were more than twice as likely to go on to develop uterine cancer compared to those who did not use the products.
Alexandra White Ph.D. (Lead Author on the Study and Head of NIEHS Environment and Cancer Epidemiology Group) stated that:
“We estimated that 1.64% of women who never used hair straighteners would go on to develop uterine cancer by the age of 70; but for frequent users, that risk goes up to 4.05%. This doubling rate is concerning. However, it is important to put this information into context – uterine cancer is a relatively rare type of cancer.”
Other studies on the link between dangerous chemicals in hair straightening products and cancer diagnoses include:
According to the Resilient Sisterhood Project, a non-profit dedicated to raising awareness on the reproductive health of black women, black women are significantly more likely than white women to have advanced stages of uterine cancer and to have more aggressive tumor types (clear cell, serous, high-grade endometrioid, and malignant mixed Mullerian tumors).
The American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology conducted a study on the mortality rates of endometrial cancer, finding an increased risk for black women to suffer from aggressive forms of uterine cancer.
Their study identifies two (2) reasons for this increased risk of aggressive uterine cancer:
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has also found that uterine fibroid growth is more common among black women than other ethnic groups.
Black women use chemical hair straighteners and hair relaxers at much higher rates than white women and also at much earlier ages.
