NIH study (the Sister Study) of 46,709 women found a 9% increase in breast cancer risk overall, and a 60% increase among African American women who frequently used permanent hair dye every 5 to 8 weeks.

What is a Failure to Warn?

WHAT IS A FAILURE TO WARN?

A "Failure to warn" is a product liability claim alleging a manufacturer or seller failed to provide adequate instructions or warnings about non-obvious dangers associated with a product's normal or foreseeable use. It acts as a warning defect that makes a product unreasonably dangerous, potentially triggering strict liability regardless of negligence.
Key aspects of failure to warn claims include:
  • Duty to Warn: Manufacturers and sellers must warn about dangers they know or should know about.
  • Adequacy of Warning: A warning must be clear, visible, and adequately explain the severity of risks.
  • Foreseeable Misuse: Manufacturers must warn against predictable, improper use of their products, not just intended uses.
  • Obvious Risks: There is generally no duty to warn against risks that are obvious to a reasonable user.
  • Learned Intermediary: In pharmaceuticals, manufacturers may fulfill their duty by warning doctors, who then advise patients.
  • To succeed, a plaintiff must prove the lack of warning caused their injuries.

Evidence Needed to File a Hair Dye Lawsuit

The evidence required to file a hair dye lawsuit will vary between claims, but you will need to have documentation of your cancer diagnosis.

  • This could include medical records, treatment notes or a letter from your doctor.
  • You will likely also need to verify that you were regularly exposed to hair dye.
  • This may involve documentation of your employment or the work you did that would have exposed you to specific hair dyes. It could also include which products you used.

If you are not sure how to gather the necessary evidence or what documentation you need, call Hair Dye Lawsuit Lawyer Timothy L. Miles who can help and further advise or answer any questions to may have.
