Plaintiff further alleges that she underwent a laparoscopic hysterectomy in March 2010 at St. Joseph Medical Center in Kansas City, Missouri, subsequently underwent an additional surgical procedure on or about June 2010 at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kansas and underwent numerous rounds of chemotherapy in 2013 and additional rounds of chemotherapy in June 2022.
The hair relaxer ovarian cancer lawsuit reportedly brings a 12 count personal injury complaint including claims for: Strict Liability – Failure to Warn, Strict Liability – Design Defect, Strict Liability – Manufacturing , Defect Negligence – Negligent Failure to Warn, Negligence – Negligent Design and/or Manufacturing Defect, Gross Negligence, Negligent Misrepresentation, Violation of the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act, R.S.Mo. §407.010 through §407.307, Fraud, Fraudulent Concealment, Breach of Express Warranty, and Breach of Implied Warranties.
The Plaintiff in the hair straightener ovarian cancer lawsuit reportedly seeks, among other things, a judgment against Defendants and past and future compensatory damages for pain, suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and other noneconomic damages, past and future economic damages in the form of medical expenses, out of pocket expenses, lost earnings, and other economic damages, punitive and/or exemplary damages, pre and post judgment interest, and an award of attorneys’ fees and costs.
