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?
Vermont women who used chemical hair relaxers and developed uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, or endometriosis can pursue claims through MDL 3060. Vermont has a 3-year statute of limitations for product liability. While Vermont has a smaller affected population, eligibility depends on product use and diagnosis — not geography. Vermont women who used relaxer products should consult an attorney to assess their claims.
