A woman in the United States on Friday sued French cosmetics giant L'Oreal after she developed a rare uterine cancer, Agence France-Presse reported. The woman, Jenny Mitchell, alleged she used the company's hair-straightening products for two decades, after which she got cancer. This came after a recent study showed that excessive use of such hair products increases the risk of uterine cancer among women.
