Study suggests link between chemical hair straighteners and chances of uterine cancer

Several women diagnosed with uterine cancer are now suing L'Oreal and other cosmetic companies after a recent study tied the illness to chemical hair straightening products. Dr. Kemi Doll joined Amna Nawaz to discuss the study and the concerns it has raised.

Correction: The NewsHour incorrectly cited the NIEHS as the National Institute of Environmental Health Safety. Instead, it is the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.
