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?
Arkansas women who used chemical hair relaxers and developed uterine or ovarian cancer may file into MDL 3060. Arkansas has a 3-year statute of limitations for product liability — one of the more generous timelines in the country. Women with diagnoses as recent as 2023 still have time to file. Arkansas has a significant Black female population in the Little Rock and Pine Bluff areas who were targeted by hair relaxer marketing for decades.
