About Hair Straightener Cancer Claims
In October 2022, a study from the National Institutes of Health found that women who frequently use chemical hair straightening or relaxer products may have more than twice the risk of developing uterine cancer compared to those who don't use these products. The study, which followed over 33,000 women for nearly 11 years, is particularly significant for Black women, who use hair straightening products at higher rates. These products often contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals like phthalates, parabens, and formaldehyde that can be absorbed through the scalp, especially when there are burns or abrasions present during application. Lawsuits allege that manufacturers failed to warn consumers about these serious health risks despite allegedly having knowledge of the dangers.
