Congressmember Yvette D. Clarke, along with her colleagues, has introduced the Uterine Cancer Study Act 2024 to investigate the link between hair straighteners and uterine cancer.
Recent studies suggest a troubling correlation between the use of chemical hair straightening products and an increased risk of uterine cancer in women, particularly impacting the Black community.
This legislation will prompt federal agencies like the HHS and FDA to conduct a detailed study, exploring prior research findings on the potential dangers of these styling products.
The Act aims to ensure a comprehensive examination is completed within two years, further highlighting the need for understanding and addressing health disparities affecting Black women.
