HAIR STRAIGHTENERS LAWSUIT

A recent study from researchers at the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) suggests a potential link between the use of these hair products and an increased risk of uterine cancer. The study, published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute on October 17, 2022, raises concerns about the chemical exposure from these products, especially straighteners, which may be absorbed through the scalp, particularly in cases of burns or lesions caused by the products.
