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?
Missouri women who used chemical hair relaxers and were diagnosed with uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, or endometriosis may file claims through MDL 3060. Missouri has a 5-year statute of limitations for product liability — one of the longest in the nation. St. Louis and Kansas City have large Black communities where relaxer products were heavily marketed. Missouri's generous timeline means women diagnosed as far back as 2021 may still file.
