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?
Tennessee women who used chemical hair relaxers and developed uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, or endometriosis can file claims through MDL 3060. Tennessee has a 1-year statute of limitations for product liability — the shortest tier in the nation. Memphis and Nashville have large Black communities that were primary marketing targets for relaxer brands like Dark & Lovely, ORS, and Just for Me.
