Chemical Hair Straightener Uterine Cancer Lawsuit
Previous research suggested that chemical hair straightening products are associated with an increased risk of certain hormone-related cancers, breast and ovarian cancers being the most notable. Now, a new study by in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute (JNCI) has linked the use of chemical hair straighteners to an increased risk in uterine cancer, and Black females may be affected at a higher rate due to their higher usage the study noted.
The study found that out of women who had not used chemical hair straightening products in the last 12 months, only 1.6% developed uterine cancer by the age of 70. However, approximately 4% of women who frequently use chemical hair straightening products developed uterine cancer by the age of 70. The fact that uterine cancer is so rare, the doubling of its risk raises concern. Chandra Jackon, an author of the study and researcher at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) stated, "In this study, women with frequent use in the past year had an over two-fold higher risk of uterine cancer.” Using chemical hair straighteners more than four times a year was defined as frequent.
If you used chemical hair straightening products and subsequently were diagnosed with uterine, breast, or ovarian cancer or suffered any other any other adverse health effects from chemical hair straightening products, contact lawyer Timothy L. Miles to see if you may be eligible for a chemical hair straightener lawsuit and possibly be entitled to significant compensation.
