Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.
02 · Where cases are heard
Where would my case be heard?
Alaska women who used chemical hair relaxers and developed uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, or endometriosis can file claims into MDL 3060 in Chicago. Alaska has a 2-year statute of limitations for product liability. While Alaska has a smaller population, women who used relaxer products like Dark & Lovely or ORS throughout their lives are eligible regardless of where they currently reside. Alaska plaintiffs should consult a hair relaxer attorney to assess their filing timeline.
