Alabama women who used chemical hair relaxers and were diagnosed with uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, or endometriosis may file claims into MDL 3060 in the Northern District of Illinois. Alabama has a 2-year statute of limitations for product liability claims. The NIH Sister Study found frequent relaxer users face a 2.55x increased uterine cancer risk. Alabama's significant Black female population was disproportionately targeted by relaxer marketing from L'Oréal, Revlon, and Namaste Laboratories.
