02 · Where cases are heard
Where would my case be heard?
Indiana women who used chemical hair relaxers and developed uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, or endometriosis can file claims into MDL 3060 in neighboring Illinois. Indiana has a 2-year statute of limitations for product liability. Indianapolis has a significant Black community that was directly targeted by hair relaxer marketing from L'Oréal, Revlon, and Namaste Laboratories for decades. Indiana's proximity to the Chicago MDL courthouse provides convenient access for plaintiffs.
