Women who used chemical hair straightening or relaxer products frequently (more than four times in the last year) may have an increased risk of developing uterine cancer, endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, and other health problems.
Legal action is being taken against manufacturers and producers of these hair products for their failure to properly warn consumers of potential health risks.
You may be eligible to file a claim if you or a loved one used chemical hair straighteners, hair relaxers, or other similar hair products, and subsequently were diagnosed with uterine cancer, endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, and other health problems.
A mass tort is a category of legal action where a large number of plaintiffs file claims against a single defendant or a small number of connected defendants. A mass tort can be brought from a defective product, contaminated food, medicine lacking appropriate label warnings, exposure to chemicals, pharmaceutical drugs or occupational hazards.
Simple put, tort law strives to put the victim in the situation they were in before the tort. Compensation for injuiries include reviewing of past and future economic losses as well as financial satisfaction for a variety of nonfinancial items of damage, such as pain and suffering or loss of amenities.
