| Studies have found that hair relaxers have been linked to cancer and negative reproductive effects, and it’s possible that the manufacturers knew about these health risks and failed to warn consumers.

Specifically, hair relaxers and straighteners under the Motions, Dark & Lovely, Soft & Beautiful, Optimum Care, Creme of Nature, Just for Me and Olive Oil brands are being investigated. If you developed cancer, endometriosis or reproductive problems after using a hair relaxer or hair straightening product from one of the above brands, share your story with us here and learn more about your rights. |

| | ~ In Other News ~ | When we pay extra for premium features, we expect them to work as intended. Unfortunately, some Subaru drivers have been met with disappointment in this regard, as they’ve reported that the infotainment systems in their vehicles have a tendency to freeze, display dead pixels or simply fail to respond. Attorneys working with ClassAction.org are now investigating whether a defect is to blame – and, if so, whether a lawsuit could be filed. If filed and successful, a class action could help drivers get back money for repair and replacement costs and potentially force Subaru to provide a free fix. If you bought or leased a 2020-2022 Subaru vehicle and have had problems with your touch screen infotainment system, head over to this page to read up on the investigation and see how your experience could help get a lawsuit started. |
| The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act requires companies to provide at least 60 days’ notice of a mass layoff in certain situations. Now, after hundreds of workers were fired over the past year in several rounds of layoffs, Hy-Vee is under investigation for potential violations of this law. Attorneys working with ClassAction.org believe that the reduction of Hy-Vee’s corporate workforce constitutes a mass layoff under the WARN Act and that the fired workers were not provided with the required notice. They’re now looking into whether a class action can be filed to help former Hy-Vee employees get back lost wages and benefits. If you were fired by Hy-Vee as part of a mass layoff within the past year, head over to this page to find out more about your legal rights. |
