Black Women Who Used Toxic Hair Relaxers Entitled To Financial Compensation

Phyllis Coley @phyllis_coley

Recent scientific evidence has pointed to a link between the use of chemical hair relaxers and the development of certain types of cancer. Product liability lawsuits have been filed against major beauty company L’Oreal, alleging that toxic chemicals in their hair relaxers led to an increased risk of uterine cancer. This lawsuit, along with other related claims, will pave the way for victims to pursue a hair relaxer cancer lawsuit.

At Reich & Binstock, their nationally-recognized mass tort attorneys are investigating claims involving certain chemical hair straighteners and their link with adverse health effects.

If you have developed one of the following health conditions after using Dark & Lovely, Just for Me, or Cantu Shea Butter Relaxers, you may be entitled to financial compensation:

  • Uterine cancer
  • Endometrial cancer
  • Ovarian cancer

Revlon is one of the biggest and best-known cosmetic companies in the world and sells chemical hair relaxer products. Revlon has not been named as a defendant in the hair relaxer cancer lawsuits, however, because shortly before the hair relaxer litigation got started Revlon Inc. filed bankruptcy.

Revlon filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the Southern District of New York in 2022, even before the chemical hair straightener lawsuit got rolling.  Crème of Nature, Herba Rich, African Pride, French Perm, Fabulaxer, Revlon Professional, Revlon Realistic,  and All Ways Natural Relaxer are listed by Revlon as products in the litigation.

Revlon’s pending bankruptcy has prevented potential plaintiffs from filing hair relaxer lawsuits against the company, but this does not mean that Revlon will escape any liability. The PSC in the hair relaxer class action recently filed a report advising MDL Judge Mary Rowland about the status of the Revlon bankruptcy. According to that report, the PSC has already filed a claim against Revlon on behalf of hair relaxer plaintiffs. This means that Revlon’s potential liability in the hair relaxer class action will have to be estimated and then accounted for in any bankruptcy reorganization plan.
