Lawsuits related to hair straightening, relaxing, and perm products have been gaining attention in recent years. While there is still a lot that is unknown, studies suggest that there is a possible link between prolonged use of these products and an increased risk of certain types of cancer.
If you or a loved one have used these products and have been diagnosed with uterine, endometrial, or ovarian cancer, or have had a hysterectomy, myomectomy, endometrial ablation, or uterine artery embolization as a result of uterine fibroids, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
