Are These Common Hair Products Causing Cancer? | TSR Investigates

For many Black women, having a relaxer was once considered a societal norm. Yet, that same staple of Black hair care could be doing more harm than good. That is certainly the case for 28-year-old Jenny Mitchell, who claims that she developed uterine cancer which led to her having a hysterectomy as a result of years of relaxer use. She also learned that the National Health Institute had been tracking over 33-thousand women for 11 years citing those who reported frequent use of hair straightening products were more than twice as likely to develop uterine cancer. The most disturbing part is that companies like L'Oreal and Soft Sheen could have been aware of the risks associated with prolonged use and failed to warn consumers. Black women are now breaking their silence and seeking justice for what they consider negligence on behalf of the relaxer industry. Jenny Mitchell along with countless other women are now filing a federal lawsuit against several major hair care manufacturers. Could this be a case of companies being misinformed about the dangers of their products? Or have these companies been placing profit over the protection of their consumers?

TSR Investigates explores cold cases and special interest news stories underrepresented in mainstream media.
