Things To Know About Hair Relaxer Lawsuits

[ZaidSEO90]

The phrase "hair relaxer" is used to describe any product that can be used to straighten out naturally curly or textured hair. Strong chemicals are found in chemical hair relaxers, which help relax and straighten hair. The hair relaxer is combed through wet or damp hair for around ten minutes before being rinsed off. When the hair's protein links are loosened, the hair can be molded more easily.

Constant and prolonged contact with hair relaxer chemicals has been linked to cancer and other adverse health effects and warrants a hair relaxer lawsuit.

What kinds of cancers are associated with the use of hair relaxers?

The list of reported side effects from using hair relaxers is constantly expanding. Whatever the case may be, the hair relaxer lawsuit centers on the following harms:

• Cancer of the uterus
• Cancer of the endometrium
• Ovarian carcinoma

Cancer Is a Real Threat

Cancers of the uterus, ovaries, and breasts have been related to the chemicals used in hair relaxers in recent years. We anticipate that the evidence connecting hair relaxers and cancer will continue to accumulate as the association between the two is relatively recent.

The usage of DEHP, a chemical included in hair relaxers, is especially worrisome. Significant adverse health effects have been linked to DEHP, and it is currently recognized as a potential human carcinogen.

Cancer of the uterus

According to the results of a recent study conducted by the National Institutes of Health, 1.64 percent of women who have never used hair straighteners would acquire uterine cancer before the age of 70. However, regular users of hair relaxer products had a 4.5% increased risk of uterine cancer.

Ovarian carcinoma

According to a study published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, an elevated risk of ovarian cancer was found in women who regularly used straighteners or relaxers.

The hair relaxer lawsuit award entails what?
