A new study from NIH found that using chemical hair relaxers such as Softsheen-Carson Optimum, can increase the risk of uterine cancer by 150%. The publication of this new evidence has led to hair relaxer lawsuits being filed against L’Oreal and its subsidiary SoftSheen-Caron. The plaintiffs filing these lawsuits are alleging that the chemicals in hair relaxer products like Optimum caused them to develop uterine cancer (or related conditions such as uterine fibroids and endometriosis).

In this post, we will discuss the new evidence on uterine cancer and hair relaxer and the allegations in the lawsuits against L’Oreal regarding its SoftSheen Carson product line. We will also look at the potential settlement value of these cases.

New scientific evidence has established a link between female cancers (ovarian and uterine) and long-term use of chemical hair relaxers. Luster’s Smooth Touch and Luster’s Pink are two famous chemical hair relaxers/straighteners. Many women who used Smooth Touch, Pink, or other Luster relaxer products and subsequently developed uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine fibroids, or endometriosis may be able to file a hair relaxer lawsuit and get financial compensation. Hair relaxer cancer lawsuits are already being filed around the country. Hair relaxer cases in federal courts have already been consolidated into a new class action lawsuit.

This post will examine the recent medical evidence linking relaxers to uterine and ovarian cancer and the lawsuits against Luster Products Inc. regarding its Smooth Touch and Pink line of relaxer products.

Our firm is investigating chemical hair relaxer lawsuits that allege chemicals in Luster Smooth Touch hair relaxer cause uterine cancer and other conditions.

Most of our hair relaxer uterine fibroid lawsuits involve women who require a hysterectomy to treat their condition.  But our lawyers are also seeing claims from victims who need a myomectomy to treat fibroids that chemical hair straighteners may have caused.

We believe myomectomy claims may also receive significant settlement compensation in the new hair relaxer class action lawsuit, although these cases are separated from the MDL in 2025 as we explain below.

The page talks about myomectomy lawsuits in this litigation and speculates about the settlement payouts victims might receive. Elsewhere, we give you the latest hair relaxer lawsuit update tracking where we are in the litigation.

Our toxic baby food lawyers seek new cases from children (and their parents) who consumed HappyBaby baby foods and were subsequently diagnosed with autism.  Every day, parents reach out to our lawyers looking to see if there is a connection between the baby food their child eats and a later autism diagnosis.

The core of every HappyBby food lawsuit is that Nurture and its parent company, Danone, knowingly sold baby food products despite internal tests revealing dangerously high levels of toxic heavy metals. Their testing showed inorganic arsenic levels as high as 180 ppb, with over 25% of tested products exceeding 100 ppb—miles above FDA safety limits. On average, their baby food contained 60 ppb of inorganic arsenic. Even more concerning, some products tested as high as 641 ppb of lead, while nearly 20% contained over 10 ppb lead. Additionally, Nurture and Danone sold baby food with mercury levels reaching 10 ppb, further exposing infants to harmful neurotoxins.  That is what these baby food lawsuits involving HappyBaby are about.

If you have a potential toxic baby food autism lawsuit involving HappyBaby or any of the other defendants, call us today at 800-553-8082 or reach out to us online.

Our national mass tort lawyers are currently seeking and investigating Wegovy lawsuits for individuals who used Wegovy and subsequently developed gastroparesis or related health conditions.’ This page will look at Wegovy lawsuits and their potential settlement value.

Wegovy (semaglutide) is the brand name of a prescription drug that is used for weight loss and weight management. Wegovy has been around awhile, but recent studies have found that prolonged use of this drug can significantly increase the risk of developing gastroparesis.

Until recently, the drug label for Wegovy did not contain any warning about the potential risk of gastroparesis. This has prompted a wave of product liability lawsuits alleging that the drug maker negligently failed to warn. Anyone who suffered gastroparesis after using Wegovy may be able to file a Wegovy lawsuit and get financial compensation.
