There’s still time for hair relaxer users diagnosed with certain cancers to file a lawsuit against the manufacturers of certain hair straightening products. Thousands of women have already filed claims against manufacturers that produced, sold, and marketed hair relaxers for failing to warn consumers that these products were hazardous and could cause cancer. The commonly known brands used terms like, safe, gentle, and nourishing, to market solutions formulated with cancer-causing ingredients.
Filing a lawsuit offers those experiencing health effects after using these products a chance to recover damages. The information below outlines more about filing a lawsuit.
Determine Your Eligibility
If you’ve used hair relaxer products and you were diagnosed with uterine, ovarian, or endometrial cancer, you may qualify. Though you will find a lot of information online about eligibility, only an attorney should determine the viability of your case. Bell Legal Group is here to help!
Three important factors for filing a lawsuit against hair relaxer manufacturers include:
1. Your History of Hair Relaxer Use
To qualify for a hair relaxer claim, you must have a history of using chemical straighteners. The lawsuit names many professional and at-home brands, from Dark & Lovely to Just for Me, and Optimum Care, but many Defendants are included within the Multi District Litigation. Bell Legal Group can help evaluate your claim based upon your history of use and determine which Defendants could potentially be included in your claim.
2. Diagnosis of a Qualifying Disease
Recent scientific research links uterine, ovarian, and endometrial cancers to chemical hair straighteners. If you’ve been diagnosed with one of these qualifying diseases and previously used hair relaxer products, you may be a candidate for this lawsuit.
3. The Deadline To File
You must file your complaint before the statute of limitations lapses or you may be barred from bringing your case. Pinpointing this timeline is complex due to exceptions and nuanced laws that can extend and shorten deadlines. The attorneys at Bell Legal Group are here to help!
