Experienced South Carolina Hair Relaxer Lawsuit Attorneys

At the David W. Martin Law Group, our South Carolina chemical hair straightener attorneys are deeply concerned about the medical issues associated with the use of these popular products. Lawsuits throughout the country, and here in South Carolina, are alleging companies that produce hair relaxer products failed to warn users they could increase uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, endometriosis, fibroids, breast cancer, and other serious health risks.

Because of the frequency with which women and young girls use hair straightening products, the risks of severe health issues increase exponentially, leaving mothers, sisters, daughters, granddaughters, aunts, and cousins throughout South Carolina fighting for their lives.

The reality is, women everywhere believed these products were safe for use, and used them based on how they were marketed. The instructions for use for most of these products listed applying the chemical hair straightener every four to six weeks.

At that rate, by instruction, women throughout South Carolina may have used these products between 8-13 times each year. Recent studies that led to these important lawsuits stated women who used hair relaxers more than four times per year were more than two and a half times more likely to develop uterine cancer than those who did not use them as often.

Our experienced attorneys are helping women throughout the state understand their legal rights to join chemical hair straightener lawsuits in South Carolina after these dangerous products have caused them harm.

When manufacturers fail to warn women of the hazards associated with their products — placing them at extreme risk for serious, life-long, or even deadly health issues — we are here to hold them accountable for the damages they have caused.

If you or a loved one have used hair relaxer products and suffered health problems you did not immediately associate with their use, you deserve justice. Contact our dedicated chemical hair straightener lawsuit attorneys in South Carolina for help today.

Who is Eligible to File a Hair Relaxer Lawsuit in South Carolina?

Multiple types of hair relaxers and chemical straightening products marketed to Black women and children for use both at-home products and in salons have been listed in lawsuits throughout South Carolina as potentially dangerous.

You may be eligible to file a hair relaxer lawsuit if you used one of the following chemical hair straighteners — or another product not listed here — and received a diagnosis of uterine cancer, breast cancer, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, or other health serious health risks:

The South Carolina hair relaxer lawsuits claim the product manufacturers knew or should have known that their chemical straightening products were dangerous and defective because they contain highly toxic EDCs, yet they manufactured, marketed, and sold them to women throughout the country anyway.

Women deserve more from these manufacturers, and we are here to help ensure each of our clients has access to experienced legal representation to hold them accountable for their deceptive sales, no matter where they live or work in South Carolina.

What are the Most Common Health Risks Associated with Hair Relaxers?

Hair relaxers and chemical hair straighteners are sold throughout South Carolina in grocery stores, convenience stores, drug stores, beauty product supply stores, and hair salons, and are intended to provide users with smoother, straighter hair.

Popular in Black communities throughout South Carolina, women and children have been using hair relaxing and straightening products for generations, as they were marketed as safe and easy to use at home and in beauty shops.

According to a National Institutes of Health study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, women who used these products more than four times a year had more than double the risk of uterine cancer.

Because of the higher prevalence and frequency of use in Black communities, young girls, teenagers, and women of all ages may have sufferable from serious health conditions for decades, while never piecing together that a product they used responsibly was causing them harm. As more lawsuits connect hair relaxers to these health conditions, families are left devastated, and we want to help.

In addition to uterine cancer, other studies have linked hair relaxers to increased risk:

  • Uterine Fibroids
  • Endometriosis
  • Breast Cancer
  • Ovarian Cancer
