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?
Maine women diagnosed with uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, or endometriosis after long-term use of chemical hair relaxers may file claims in MDL 3060. Maine has a 6-year statute of limitations for product liability — one of the longest in the country — providing significant additional time for Maine residents to pursue claims. Any Maine woman who used relaxer products and received a qualifying diagnosis should consult an attorney.
