Black Woman SUES L’Oréal, Claims Chemical Hair Straightening Products Are Linked To Her Cancer

A study found that women who reported frequent use of hair straightening/relaxing products were more than twice as likely to go on to develop uterine cancer compared to those who did not use the products.

Uterine cancer is relatively rare and accounts for about 7-percent of all new cancer cases among women. It's the most common cancer of the female reproductive system, and so far this year, there are an estimated 65,950 estimated new cases.

Studies show uterine cancer incidence rates among Black women have risen in the United States.

Attorneys Ben Crump and Diandra "Fu" Debrosse Zimmermann are suing L'Oréal and other companies on behalf of several women whose product use may have led to their diagnosis.
