Years of relaxers. Then cancer.
Women who regularly used chemical hair straighteners and relaxers and were later diagnosed with uterine, endometrial or ovarian cancer are suing the manufacturers.
What happened
The lawsuits allege that chemical relaxers contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals linked to hormone-related cancers, and that manufacturers marketed them for years, especially to Black women, without warning of the risk.
Who may qualify
You may have a claim if:
- Used chemical hair relaxers or straighteners regularly for years
- Diagnosed with uterine, endometrial or ovarian cancer
- A family member may file if a loved one has died

Where the case stands
Federal cases are consolidated in MDL 3060, with roughly 11,000 pending cases. Expert (Daubert) rulings in 2026 are shaping which cases move forward, which makes an early, well-documented claim important.
