Uterine cancer refers to cancers of the uterus, specifically endometrial cancer, uterine sarcoma, and other cancers of the uterus:
Endometrial cancer is the most common cancer diagnosis in the uterus, accounting for 90% of uterine cancer cases. Endometrial cancer forms in the endometrium, the tissue that lines the uterus.
Uterine sarcoma is a rare type of cancer, effecting less than 10% of uterine cancer patients. This type of uterine cancer develops in the muscle walls of the uterus, called the myometrium.
Uterine cancer is the most common gynecologic cancer, affecting thousands of women each year.
The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2022, about 65,000 new uterine cancer cases were diagnosed, and over 12,000 women died from uterine cancer.
Though no specific companies were named in the major scientific studies that outline the cancer risk from hair straightening products, several companies and products have been named in lawsuits:
Women who frequently used hair relaxers and subsequently developed uterine cancer, endometrial cancer, breast cancer, or other related health conditions may undergo several serious medical treatments, such as:
Blood transfusion for iron deficiency anemia due to excessive bleeding
Chemotherapy
Endometrial ablation
Endometriosis excision
Hysterectomy
Laparoscopy
Laparotomy
Magnetic resonance guided focused ultrasound (MRGFUS)
Morcellation
Myomectomy
Radiation
Transcervical radiofrequency ablation
Uterine fibroid embolization
Other surgery or treatment

Hair Straightener Cancer Lawsuit | Chemical Hair Straightener Lawsuit
Recent scientific studies from the past 10 years indicate that women who use chemical hair straighteners, relaxers, and similar products may have a higher risk of developing health issues such as uterine cancer, endometrial cancer, uterine fibroids, breast cancer and other conditions.
Due to this new research, there is renewed pressure on companies who sell chemical hair straighteners to add warning labels to products and better inform consumers about potential health risks.
Some companies are facing legal actions for their failure to provide such warning.
Previously, legal actions have also been taken against companies whose hair products were potentially related to breast cancer risk, particularly permanent hair dye.
If you or a loved one used chemical hair straightening products and were subsequently diagnosed with uterine cancer, endometrial cancer, breast cancer, or another related health problem, you may be eligible to file a claim.

Hair Straightener Lawsuits Filed Against Manufacturers
Several lawsuit claims have been filed against manufacturers, and steps are being made towards consolidation into multidistrict litigation (MDL).
Lawsuits have been filed in the Northern District of Illinois, Southern District of Georgia, Southern District of Ohio, Southern District of New York, and Northern District of California.

Hair Straightening or Relaxer Products and Incident Uterine Cancer Risk
Research from institutions like the National Cancer Institute, the Cancer Epidemiology Group, and National Institutes of Health have found that hair straightening chemicals may been linked to an increased uterine cancer risk.
Researchers 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.
Health Disparities and Uterine Cancer Risk: Black Women Develop Uterine Cancer at Higher Rates
Several institutions have found that black women are at a higher risk to develop uterine cancer compared to white women.
Black women use hair straightening chemicals at higher rates than white women, and tend to initiate use at earlier ages.
Researchers are studying whether the links between hair relaxer use and uterine cancer may help explain the disparities in uterine cancer risk factors for black women and white women.
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 African American women to suffer from aggressive forms of uterine cancer.
Their study identifies two reasons for this risk:
Black women have a higher prevalence of molecular and genetic markers for more aggressive forms of endometrial cancer
Black women are often less likely to receive proper care for the disease, and the disease is often diagnosed at later and more aggressive stages compared to white women.
