Where would my case be heard?
Minnesota women who developed uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, or endometriosis after using chemical hair relaxers can file into MDL 3060. Minnesota allows 4 years for strict product liability claims (Minn. Stat. § 541.05, subd. 2) and 6 years for other personal-injury claims, such as negligence (§ 541.05, subd. 1(5)). Minneapolis and St. Paul have growing Black communities where hair relaxer products were marketed.
