Hair Relaxer Cancer Lawsuit

Hair relaxers, used by over 200 million Americans each year, are a type of chemical treatment that helps to straighten curly or textured hair resulting in straightened hair, and a sleek and polished look. It was recently discovered that hair relaxers can pose serious health risks, including cancer and other diseases, when used for extended periods of time. The manufacturers of these products have failed to warn consumers about the potential risks associated with the use of their products and have not taken adequate steps to protect consumers from the harmful effects of these chemicals.

If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with cancer after frequently using hair relaxers, you may be entitled to compensation. Hair relaxers contain dangerous chemicals and manufacturers have the responsibility to warn consumers of the risks associated with using these products. Our specialized team of hair relaxer attorneys at The Barnes Firm are dedicated to fighting for the rights of those affected by hair relaxers and holding the manufacturers responsible for failing to warn consumers about the risks associated with these products.

What Are Chemical Hair Relaxers?

Hair relaxers work by breaking down the protein bonds in the hair shaft, which allows the hair to be reshaped and straightened. They typically contain chemicals such as sodium hydroxide, guanidine hydroxide, or ammonium thioglycolate, as well as other chemicals that can be harmful to the scalp and hair follicles. Hair relaxers are available for anyone to buy at stores and beauty salons.

Are Hair Relaxers Dangerous?

Hair relaxers have been linked to a variety of health issues, including cancer, due to the presence of hazardous chemicals. The chemicals found in hair relaxers can be absorbed through the scalp and enter the bloodstream, where they can cause damage to cells and increase the risk of cancer development.

Studies have shown that women who use hair relaxers are at a higher risk of developing:

Uterine cancer
Breast cancer
Ovarian cancer
Endometriosis
