02 · Where cases are heard
Where would my case be heard?
Pennsylvania women who used chemical hair relaxers and developed uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, or endometriosis have strong claims in MDL 3060. Pennsylvania has a 2-year statute of limitations for product liability. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh have large Black communities that were heavily targeted by hair relaxer marketing from L'Oréal, Revlon, and Namaste Laboratories. Philadelphia is one of the top-priority markets for hair relaxer outreach given its significant Black female population.
