02 · Where cases are heard
Where would my case be heard?
Kansas women who used chemical hair relaxers and received a uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, or endometriosis diagnosis may file claims through MDL 3060. Kansas has a 2-year statute of limitations for product liability. The Kansas City metro area (shared with Missouri) has a substantial Black community where relaxer products were heavily marketed. Kansas women should consult an attorney to protect their filing rights.
