Liability Overview
Liability Considerations in Milwaukee
Milwaukee hair relaxer claims are consolidated in MDL 3060 in nearby Chicago. Wisconsin's 3-year product liability statute under Wis. Stat. § 893.54 applies. Milwaukee's large Black community was a primary marketing target for hair relaxer products. The NIH Sister Study's finding of 2.55x uterine cancer risk is particularly relevant given the heavy relaxer use in this community.
