A US woman is suing L’Oreal after being diagnosed with uterine cancer, claiming that the company’s hair straightening products are behind her disease.
The lawsuit came days after a new study from the US National Institute of Environmental Health Safety revealed that frequent use of chemical hair straightening products could lead to a higher chance of developing uterine cancer.
The plaintiff was diagnosed with uterine cancer in 2018, and she blames L’Oréal’s hair straightening products, which she had been using since 2000, and four other companies.
The lawsuit alleges that L’Oréal and the other companies knew, or should have known, that their products increased the risk of cancer but manufactured and distributed them anyway, with no warning to consumers that they carried such risks.
Additionally, the plaintiff’s lawyer said that more women will be coming forward in the coming weeks and months.
