About The Chemical Hair Straightener Lawsuit
Studies conducted over the last 10 years have exposed that women who use chemical hair straighteners, relaxers and similar products could be at an increased risk of health problems such as uterine cancer, endometrial tumor, fibroids in the uterus, breast cancer, as well as other ailments.
As a result of this research, there has been renewed pressure for companies selling chemical hair straighteners to include warning labels on their products and provide more information to their consumers regarding potential health risks.
Certain companies are being taken to court over their inability to provide such information.
Legal actions have been filed against various hair-related companies suspected of increasing breast cancer risk – specifically permanent dyes for hair.
If you or a close loved one used chemical hair straightening products and later were diagnosed with cancer of the uterus (endometrial cancer or breast cancer) or another health issue caused by them, such as chronic fatigue syndrome, you could potentially make a claim.

Chemical Hair Straightening Products And Cancer Risk
Studies conducted over time have correlated chemical hair relaxers and products for straightening your hair with higher rates of cancer risk in the uterus and other health concerns, according to numerous scientific studies. This evidence points to their use being linked with cancer development and health issues such as premature menopause.
NIEHS, part of the National Cancer Institute, conducted an ongoing health study for over 10 years known as “Sister Study” that began in 2000 and focused on factors that increase breast cancer risks.
Studies conducted between October 2022 and 2025 on hair straightening chemicals were linked to an increased risk of uterine cancer. Researchers discovered that women who utilized hair straightening products at least four times in one year, such as hair straighteners for straightening, were two times more likely to develop Uterine cancer than women who did not use such products.
Studies that link products for hair straightening with the possibility of cancer of the uterus:
- National Cancer Institute: Hair Straighteners and Other Products and the Risk of Uterine Cancer as an Incident.
- The National Cancer Institute:Â Chemical Relaxers and Hair-Straightening Products: Potential Targets for Hormone-Related Cancer Prevention and Control
- Cancer Epidemiology:Â Hair dye and chemical straightener use and breast cancer risk in a large US population of black and white women
- Carcinogenisis (Oxford Academic): Hair product use and breast cancer incidence in the Black Women’s Health Study
Health Disparities In Uterine Cancer Diagnosis
According to Resilient Sisterhood Project, a non-profit organization dedicated to increasing awareness about reproductive health issues among African-American women, Black women are at increased risk for advanced stages of uterine cancer and more aggressive forms of tumors (clear cells, serous high-grade endometrioid tumors and malignant Mullerian mixed tumors).
The American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology found mortality rates related to endometrial cancer. Their researchers discovered that black women have an increased risk for severe uterine cancer.
Their research has identified two possible causes of this danger:
- Black women tend to show greater molecular and genetic indicators of more serious forms of endometrial cancer.
- Black women delay or forgo receiving proper medical treatment for their disease and are typically diagnosed in later and more aggressive stages than white women.
Black women use chemical hair straighteners and relaxers more often than white females; thus, they appear younger.
Studies are necessary to investigate why women of African descent experience a higher incidence of uterine cancer than white women.
