Where this case stands

    Filed cases are in discovery — both sides are exchanging evidence. New claimants may still be added.

  2. Next

    Check the criteria below. If they may fit, a firm handling this litigation can review your situation — free, and on your schedule.

What this case is about

Plaintiffs allege long-term use of chemical relaxers exposed them to endocrine-disrupting chemicals linked to uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, and fibroids — one of the largest dockets in federal court.

Cases describe allegations that the defendants deny. Facts are drawn from public court records, settlement administrators, and litigation trackers, and can change as the case moves.

What a review will look at

  • Roughly how long and how often you used relaxers
  • Records confirming any cancer or fibroid diagnosis
  • Which products or brands you used, if you remember

Missing records aren’t a dealbreaker — legal teams help people gather them all the time.
