Our Hair Relaxer Lawsuit: Which Products Are Included and Why?

Hair Relaxer Lawsuit Companies – Are You Using Their Products?

Our nationwide hair relaxer lawsuit keeps expanding, and the list of included companies is important information for Memphis women.

If you’ve been searching online for a hair relaxer lawsuit companies list, your bathroom shelf may already hold the answer.

Below are the basics about our lawsuit. I break down the included companies and what you should do right now to protect your rights.

About the Lawsuit

Our hair relaxer cancer lawsuit is a growing group of legal claims brought by women who developed uterine, ovarian, or endometrial cancer after using chemical hair straightening products.

The lawsuits argue that major beauty companies knew or should have known their products contained dangerous chemicals that could disrupt hormones and increase cancer risk. They failed to warn consumers and put possibly millions of women at risk.

If you’ve used hair relaxers more than 4x a year for two years or more and then developed a reproductive cancer, you may be eligible for compensation to cover medical costs, lost income, and pain and suffering.

How the Hair Relaxer Lawsuit Works Against Multiple Companies at Once

The lawsuit is classified as a multidistrict litigation (MDL), which is a way of centralizing thousands of uterine and ovarian cancer claims.

An MDL isn’t a class action; it simply groups similar federal lawsuits so the parties can share information. This makes it easier for lawyers to gather discovery, streamline evidence, and defend their clients.

As we include multiple companies in these cases, it offers a few advantages.

First, we get more discovery, or evidence provided by the other side. This might include internal emails, safety tests, and marketing files from the corporations.

In addition, expert witnesses can use all of this information to show an industry-wide pattern of negligence.

And it offers us leverage. The bigger the defendant roster, the harder it is for any one company to shift blame somewhere else.

Meet the Defendants

This comprehensive list helps show just how widespread the problem is. It includes drugstore brands, salon formulas, and specialty beauty-supply products.

If you’ve used any product from one of these companies for at least two years and then developed uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, or endometrial cancer, you may qualify and should contact us.

First-Wave Defendants:

These major manufacturers were named early in the litigation and remain central to the case:

• L’Oréal USA, Inc. – known for Dark & Lovely and other relaxers
• Revlon, Inc. – manufacturer of several popular straightening products
• Strength of Nature Global, LLC – brands include Olive Oil Girls, Soft & Beautiful
• SoftSheen-Carson LLC – subsidiary of L’Oréal (Dark & Lovely, Optimum)
• Namaste Laboratories, LLC – maker of Organic Root Stimulator (ORS)
• Garnier LLC – subsidiary under the L’Oréal umbrella

Second-Wave Defendants:

These companies were added more recently to the MDL. They include lesser-known and private-label manufacturers:

• Roux Laboratories – known for Roux Perms and Fanci-Full
• Advanced Beauty Systems, Inc. – Soft & Beautiful Botanicals, Vitale
• RNA Corporation – private-label relaxers sold through beauty-supply chains
• Wella Operations US, LLC and Wella AG – Clairol Professional, Wella Color Charm
• Murrays Worldwide, Inc. – Murray’s Superior Hair Dressing
• John Paul Mitchell Systems – Paul Mitchell Relaxer System
• Bronner Brothers, Inc. – African Pride, BB Relaxers

Even “off-brand” or salon-exclusive straighteners now fall under the umbrella. As a result, if you used any of these labels and were diagnosed, you may have a claim.

Why More Defendants Can Mean More Momentum

Having multiple companies involved offers us and our clients a huge advantage.

Firstly, large corporations carry separate insurance towers. When several are on the hook, their combined policy limits can mean higher settlement ranges for every plaintiff.

In addition, not every product comes from these big name or luxury brands. A lot of house-brand kits from beauty-supply stores, discount chains, or salons weren’t included in the original suit. Their addition widens the net beyond marquee brand names like L’Oreal.

And if multiple companies cut the same safety corners, it becomes far easier to prove they all should have warned consumers.

For example, we have strong reason to believe these companies all ignored the science around endocrine disruptors in their products. And as a result, they didn’t warn women about dangerous chemicals like formaldehyde, phthalates, and parabens that all can lead to reproductive cancers.

Check Your Bathroom Shelf (and Your Salon History)

Such a long list could feel overwhelming. Fortunately, you don’t have to remember every bottle you bought. We can help you figure out if you qualify – and we don’t charge any sort of fee unless and until we win your claim. So you can always contact us with questions.

But in the meantime, here are some steps you can take to prove if you qualify.

• Scan your cabinets for any straightening kit—full or empty—bearing the above logos. Photograph the label and note purchase dates if you have them.
• Ask your stylist which brands they used on you. Many salons keep electronic ordering records.
• Review receipts and loyalty-card histories from beauty-supply stores like Sally, ULTA, and local shops.
• Save everything. No item is too small. Even a social-media post showing your relaxer routine can support your timeline.

You can also gather additional evidence to prove how the products impacted your health, including medical records confirming your uterine, endometrial, or ovarian cancer.

We’ll also gather supporting evidence on your behalf, including witness statements from stylists who saw you use the product and expert testimony from doctors who understand the science.

And if any of this feels overwhelming, that’s why we prefer to step in early. We work hard so you don’t have to.

Time Limits Move Fast in Tennessee

Tennessee’s statute of limitations for product liability cases can be as short as one year from the day you first learned your cancer might be linked to hair relaxers.

This is called a “discovery rule,” and it catches many victims by surprise. Waiting could bar you forever, no matter how strong the evidence.

So if you’re on the fence about talking with an attorney, don’t wait. The conversation is completely free, no strings attached.
