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.
