If you used Dark & Lovely hair relaxers marketed by L'Oreal and were diagnosed with uterine or ovarian cancer, we encourage you to call us for a free case evaluation. We know that dealing with cancer presents daily difficulties. Therefore, we aim to maintain your involvement to a minimum.
Although the cosmetics giant's Dark & Lovely hair relaxers are marketed as safe hair care products, they can cause severe burns, which allow the chemicals to absorb more into the scalp. L'Oreal's Dark & Lovely hair relaxers were the first no-lye hair straightening products in the 1970s, and today there are various types of Dark & Lovely hair relaxers available on the market.
The following hair-straightening products are named in recent toxic hair relaxer lawsuits:
- Dark & Lovely Hair Relaxer Triple Nourished Silkening Relaxer No-Lye
- Dark & Lovely Hair Relaxer Healthy-Gloss 5 Shade Shea Moisture No-Lye Relaxer
- Dark & Lovely Hair Relaxer No-Lye Conditioning Relaxer System
- Dark & Lovely Hair Relaxer Healthy-Gloss 5 Moisturizing No-Lye Relaxer with Shea Butter
- Dark & Lovely Hair Relaxer Superior Moisture Plus No-Lye Relaxer Kit
- Dark & Lovely Hair Relaxer Moisture Plus No-Lye Relaxer
The first hair relaxer lawsuit against Dark & Lovely was filed in Chicago after a study that linked chemical hair relaxers to uterine cancer was published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute in October 2022. Other toxic hair relaxer lawsuits followed it in November and December, and the number of toxic hair relaxer lawsuits keeps growing.
Women who sued L'Oreal, claim that the cosmetics company heavily promoted the Dark & Lovely hair relaxer line toward African American women while failing to warn about the health risks of exposure to toxic chemicals in the products.
