Protecting Black Women’s Health: DiCello Levitt Backs Federal Legislation Targeting Harmful Hair Products

Jul 18, 2025

DiCello Levitt proudly supports the Safe Beauty Bill Package – newly introduced federal legislation aimed at banning dangerous chemicals commonly found in hair relaxers and straightening products marketed to Black women.

These products—long tied to elevated risks of uterine cancer and other serious illnesses—have harmed generations under the guise of beauty standards shaped by systemic bias.

We are proud to have filed key mass tort litigation on behalf of women across the country who were never warned of these risks. Our firm remains committed to holding manufacturers accountable and to driving meaningful change beyond the courtroom.

Our thanks to Congresswoman Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill for her leadership on this important issue, which presents a danger to multiple communities. We also applaud the American Association for Justice (AAJ) for its tireless advocacy in support of this legislation and for amplifying the voices of those most affected.
