数千名女性因化学直发器带来的健康风险提起诉讼

Women who used chemical hair straighteners are being diagnosed with uterine cancer. One of those women is Kenya Apping. Apping was diagnosed with uterine cancer and underwent a hysterectomy under the advice of her doctor. She also underwent chemotherapy and radiation. Apping has used chemical hair straighteners since she was a child, and her doctor believes it to be the cause of her uterine cancer.

她和其他数千名黑人女性正在起诉欧莱雅、露华浓和其他生产化学直发器的公司。

研究表明与化学直发剂相关的风险

美国国立卫生研究院发布的一项研究发现，使用化学直发器的女性患子宫癌的可能性增加两倍以上。直发器中的化学物质，如对羟基苯甲酸酯和邻苯二甲酸盐，被认为是使用这些产品的人患癌症的原因。

波士顿大学的一项研究发现，长期使用直发器的绝经后黑人女性患子宫癌的风险也会增加。
