Hair Relaxers Can Cause Substantial Harm

Hair relaxer is a chemical product designed to permanently straighten or “relax” natural curls, making the hair easier to style. It works by breaking down the hair’s natural structure and then reforming it in a straighter pattern. Hair relaxers contain a variety of chemicals, including formaldehyde-releasing agents, phthalates, and other compounds, which allegedly have estrogenic or endocrine-disrupting effects. Accordingly, these harmful chemicals are called endocrine disrupting chemicals. These endocrine disrupting chemicals can potentially interfere with hormonal functioning in the body, which is a concern because hormonal imbalances have been linked to the development of certain types of cancer.

The Lawsuits Against Hair Relaxer Manufacturers

Lawsuits alleging that hair relaxers caused their cancer have been filed against the manufacturers of hair straightening products, relaxing products and and-frizz/polish products. These products are often sold under the trade name of Optimum, Dark & Lovely, Creme of Nature, ORS, Just for Me. and Motions, among others. These defendants that manufacturer and market these products include but are not limited to the following:

  • Loreal USA, Inc.
  • Loreal USA Products, Inc.
  • Softsheen Carson LLC
  • Strength of Nature LLC
  • Godrej Son Holding, Inc.
  • Dabur International Ltd
  • Dabur USA Ltd
  • Namaste Laboratories
  • Avlon Industries

All lawsuits against these defendants largely claim a similar course of unlawful conduct. The lawsuits claim that hair relaxer manufacturers knew or should have known that hair relaxer products are unreasonably dangerous. However, despite information indicating that hair relaxer products were unsafe, hair relaxer manufacturers continued to manufacture, sell, distribute, market and promote hair relaxer products to maximize sales and profits at the expense of consumers. Additionally, the lawsuits allege that hair relaxer manufacturers should have put warnings on their products alerting users to the serious risk of harm that may accompany use of hair relaxer products.

Plaintiffs in lawsuits against hair relaxer manufacturers seek substantial damages. The vast majority of lawsuits seek damages for medical expenses, out of pocket expenses, lost earnings, and other economic damages. Lawsuits also seek to obtain compensation for pain, suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and other non-economic damages. Furthermore, lawsuits against hair relaxer manufacturers seek punitive damages (sums to punish the defendant) claiming that the actions of hair relaxer manufacturers were wanton, willful, fraudulent or reckless.
