Following a significant surge of over 1,000 new cases in October, the hair relaxer multidistrict litigation (MDL) saw a notable slowdown in November, with only 161 new filings—an 85% decrease. The current total of cases in the MDL now stands at 9,649. While the volume of filings within the MDL has decreased, there has been an increase in the number of hair relaxer lawsuits being pursued in state courts.

Additionally, all lawsuits related to fibroids and hysterectomies, which are often associated with the use of hair relaxers, are now being handled outside of the MDL, as plaintiffs continue to seek justice in individual proceedings.
