Millions of women use chemical hair relaxers on a regular basis. New scientific research three years ago revealed that chronic exposure to the chemicals in hair relaxer products can cause uterine and ovarian cancer. This new evidence prompted a wave of lawsuits against the manufacturers of hair relaxer products by women claiming that they developed cancer as a result of using these products.
These cases are moving forward. The MDL judge has scheduled the first bellwether trial for 2early 2027. These trials are intended to help both sides gauge how juries might respond to the evidence and could influence settlement discussions…if there is not a global settlement before the first trial, as many, including our lawyers, suspect.
