According to the study, chemical hair straighteners typically contain products that are known endocrine disrupters and can affect hormone-sensitive cancers.
The products include parabens, bisphenol A, metals, and formaldehyde, according to researchers in the NIH study.
Chemical relaxers can cause lesions and burns on the scalp, making it easier for them to be absorbed into the body.
Common diagnoses of hair relaxer users:
- Uterine Cancer
- Breast Cancer
- Ovarian Cancer
- Endometrial Cancer
- Endometriosis
- Fibroids
Consumers can stand against the companies that made these products and seek compensation to help pay for medical treatment.

Below are overviews of settlements and verdicts from previous cases where uterine cancer was the primary injury.
These summaries may provide insight into settlement amounts and jury payouts for potential lawsuits related to hair relaxers or hair perms.
These are not product liability lawsuits but rather medical malpractice cases, where plaintiffs allege that doctors negligently failed to diagnose uterine cancer.
- $1,800,000 Settlement (Illinois 2020): A 41-year-old plaintiff from Chicago experienced a 4-year delay in uterine cancer treatment due to a failure to diagnose.
The distinction between a delayed diagnosis and causing cancer influenced the outcome.
There might be more sympathy for a doctor's innocent mistake than a company incorporating toxic chemicals without disclosure.
- $500,000 Settlement (Washington 2018): A 71-year-old plaintiff faced a 5-month delay in uterine cancer diagnosis due to poor communication.
The plaintiff had a prior history of cancer.
- $600,000 Settlement (New York 2015): A 35-year-old woman experienced a delay in uterine cancer diagnosis because of a failure to send an ultrasound report.
The settlement amount, despite the plaintiff's young age, might be lower as she did not plan on having more children.
- $430,000 Settlement (Minnesota 2014): A 60-year-old patient's case was settled as the doctor allegedly failed to diagnose uterine cancer, resulting in a 2-year delay and progression to stage 3C.
- $1,750,000 Settlement (Massachusetts 2013): A 52-year-old plaintiff's uterine cancer went undiagnosed, leading to the cancer spreading to the lungs and progressing to a terminal stage.
While these cases involve different issues, primarily medical malpractice, the challenges in hair straightener lawsuits against companies like L’Oréal are distinct.
Malpractice cases can be challenging to prove, but if the claims are robust, the harm is severe, and the settlement amount could be substantial.
Please feel free to ask any questions or seek further clarification. We will continue to provide updates on the Camp Lejeune lawsuit as new information becomes available.
We believe that women diagnosed with cancer, after using hair relaxers and hair straightening products, should receive justice and potential compensation from the companies that made these products and seek the compensation they deserve that can help pay for medical treatment.
