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?

North Dakota women who used chemical hair relaxers and developed uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, or endometriosis may file claims into MDL 3060. North Dakota has a 6-year statute of limitations for product liability — one of the longest in the country. While North Dakota has a smaller affected population, any woman who used relaxer products and received a qualifying diagnosis is eligible. North Dakota's generous timeline means women diagnosed years ago may still have open claims.
