For people with extremely curly hair, chemical hair relaxers and straighteners offer options for sleek styles. However, your new look may come with too heavy a price. Studies have shown that using these products regularly more than doubles the risk of developing uterine cancer when compared to women who do not. Ovarian cancer and other health issues have also been linked to these chemicals.
If you regularly used chemicals to relax or straighten your hair and have been diagnosed with reproductive cancers, you may qualify for compensation through a product liability claim. An experienced Arlington Heights, IL personal injury attorney can assess your eligibility, explain your options, and help you join thousands of other women seeking compensation from negligent manufacturers.
