US would study hair straighteners and cancer link for women of color.
This bill tells the U.S. government to study chemical hair straighteners. It would check for a link to uterine cancer, especially in women of color. It would also see if the FDA needs to ask for more safety tests for these products.
Today, no federal rule requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to study the link between chemical hair straighteners and uterine cancer. This is especially true for women of color. If this bill passes, the Secretary would be told to do this study. They would submit a report within two years. The study would also decide if the Food and Drug Administration should require more product testing.
