How the chemical hair straightener works

Chemical hair straightener products, also known as hair relaxers, have been used by people for many years to achieve straight, sleek hair. These products break down the protein bonds in the hair, making it easier to straighten and style.

Is chemical hair straightener safe?

Cosmetic companies claim that chemical hair straightener products or hair relaxers are safe. However, in recent years, scientific research has linked these products with different types of cancer and other serious illnesses. Concerns have arisen over these products' safety, leading to several class action lawsuits from consumers for personal injuries and false advertising.

High-profile class action lawsuits

Some of the most high-profile cases have involved well-known brands like:

• L'Oreal,
• Avlon,
• SoftSheen, and
• Revlon.

So far, the attorneys have filed dozens of class action lawsuits in different states against cosmetic brands that cause cancer - uterine cancer, endometrial cancer, and other health risks from phthalates, a dangerous chemical.

What if I don't want to join a class action lawsuit?

If you are a potential member of a class action lawsuit, you may have the option to opt-out or exclude yourself from the class. It means you would not be bound by any judgment or settlement reached in the case and would retain your right to file an individual lawsuit against the defendant.

Typically, the court will notify potential class members of their right to opt-out and the deadline. If you decide to opt-out, you must do so within the specified time frame and according to the procedures outlined in the notice.

Talking to an attorney and carefully considering your options before opting out of a class action lawsuit is essential.
