02 · Where cases are heard
Where would my case be heard?
Delaware women who used chemical hair relaxers and were subsequently diagnosed with uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, or endometriosis may pursue claims through MDL 3060 in Chicago. Delaware has a 2-year statute of limitations for product liability. Wilmington and Dover have notable Black communities where hair relaxer products were aggressively marketed. Delaware's proximity to major metropolitan areas means many residents purchased and used the same products at issue in the MDL.
