Hair Relaxer Lawsuit Attorney

Used Chemical Hair Relaxers and Later Diagnosed with Cancer? 

Could your beauty routine be the reason you’re sick? Women across the country are now being diagnosed with cancer after using chemical hair relaxers, and most had no idea of the risk.

If you have used certain brand-name hair relaxers, such as ones developed by Revlon or L’Oreal, over the past few years, you may be eligible for compensation if you’ve also developed certain serious medical issues. Our product liability lawyer from Robert Law Group can work with you to build your case.

The Truth About Hair Relaxers: A Silent Danger

Cancer, Hormonal Damage, and Hidden Risks

Scientific research, including a 2022 NIH study, found a significant connection between hair relaxer use and uterine cancer. Women who regularly used chemical straighteners were nearly twice as likely to develop cancer as those who didn’t.

Certain chemicals used in the manufacture of some hair relaxers have been linked to certain cancers. These chemicals include formaldehyde and parabens, along with other potentially dangerous carcinogens. Common cancers linked to chemical hair relaxers include:

• Uterine cancer
• Ovarian cancer
• Endometrial cancer
• Breast cancer
• Other hormone-related cancers

Insurance Companies Are Not on Your Side 

If you’ve developed cancer or another serious condition after using chemical hair relaxers, the harsh reality is this: you cannot count on insurance companies to prioritize your wellbeing. They are businesses—driven by profits, not people. When your case threatens their bottom line, they may: Deny coverage outright Claim your condition is unrelated Delay responses to wear you down Offer lowball settlements in hopes you’ll go away They may try to argue your policy doesn’t apply. They may try to disappear when you need them most.

Rejecting a Settlement Offer 

In mass tort cases like the ongoing hair relaxer lawsuits, manufacturers and their insurers may offer small settlements just to keep victims quiet. Their goal? Avoid publicity. Avoid accountability. Avoid paying what you truly deserve.

Don’t accept a number that doesn’t reflect your pain, your suffering, or your future medical needs. Don’t be silenced.

You have every right to demand:

• Fair compensation for your medical costs
• Lost income and future care
• Pain, suffering, and emotional trauma
• Accountability from the companies that failed you

Let us advise you on rejecting lowball offers and fighting back with a demand that reflects your reality, and counter with something that you feel is far more reasonable and reflective of what you are going through. We can fight for the full compensation you need and deserve—even if that means going to court. Our advocacy can be crucial for success in your case.
