These are far from the first chemical hair straightener lawsuits filed against cosmetic companies like L’Oréal. The above examples are not even the first cases brought regarding hair care products. In 2011, a class action lawsuit was filed against L’Oréal, alleging that their hair relaxer products contained dangerous chemicals that caused scalp burns and hair loss in users. In 2016, a similar case was filed against L’Oreal, alleging that they violated the Missouri Marketing Practices Act. Since the Jenny Mitchell case in 2022, numerous other lawsuits have been filed across the country.
