The hair relaxer lawsuits in the United States have gained significant attention due to allegations that certain chemical hair straightening products increase the risk of cancers such as uterine, ovarian, and endometrial cancers. As of March 2025, approximately 9,788 cases are pending in the multidistrict litigation (MDL) in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, with the total number of filings exceeding 12,000 when including state-level cases.
