L’Oreal USA Inc and other companies that manufacture chemical hair straighteners or hair relaxers are facing at least nine lawsuits filed on behalf of women that were diagnosed with cancer after using these products. Last month, a study published by the National Institutes of Health revealed that women who use hair straighteners or relaxers may be more likely to develop ovarian cancer.

A Missouri woman has filed a lawsuit against L’Oréal involving the company’s chemical hair straighteners. The lawsuit alleges that women who use L’Oréal’s hair straightening products may face an increased risk of developing uterine cancer.
