Where would my case be heard?
West Virginia women who used chemical hair relaxers and were diagnosed with uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, or endometriosis may file claims through MDL 3060. West Virginia has a 2-year statute of limitations for product liability. Charleston and Huntington residents who used hair relaxer products and received qualifying diagnoses should consult an attorney promptly.
