Hair Relaxer Cancer Claims in Allentown Hills, Pennsylvania

Women in Allentown Hills who used chemical hair relaxers or straighteners — including brands like Dark & Lovely, Just for Me, ORS Olive Oil, Motions, and others — and have been diagnosed with uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, endometriosis, or uterine fibroids may be eligible to file a product liability claim against the manufacturers.

The landmark NIH Sister Study (October 2022) confirmed that women who used hair straightening products more than 4 times per year had 2.55 times the risk of developing uterine cancer. Chemical hair relaxers contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals including parabens, phthalates, formaldehyde-releasing agents, and BPA that can disrupt hormones and promote cancer growth.
