African American women and other women of color are often the primary consumers of these hair relaxer products, meaning that this litigation is rooted in the racial stigmatization of natural hair.
The lawyers at Alex Davis Law are pleased to represent women who have been diagnosed with these types of cancer after using hair relaxers.

Hair Relaxer cases in Illinois federal court
In a case like this, where numerous people are making similar claims against the same companies, the cases are often litigated in front of a single judge. That is the situation here, where many hair relaxer cancer claims are centralized in Chicago federal court in the Northern District of Illinois as part of a proceeding called MDL 3060.
