Diamond and Diamond Lawyers Pursue Class Action Lawsuit Against L'Oréal Over Alleged Cancer Risks from "Dark and Lovely" Hair Relaxers
VANCOUVER, BC, June 24, 2025 /CNW/ - Diamond and Diamond Lawyers has filed a proposed class action against L'Oréal and its subsidiaries, alleging the company failed to warn consumers, primarily women of colour, about serious health risks linked to its "Dark and Lovely" hair relaxer products. Filed in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, the lawsuit claims these relaxers contain unsafe levels of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) that are associated with respiratory and cardiovascular problems, diabetes, as well as reproductive cancers, including uterine, endometrial and ovarian cancer. These chemicals can also cause fibroids, damage the nervous and immune systems, as well as lead to neurological and learning disabilities. " These products were marketed as safe for decades. Our lawsuit alleges that L'Oréal ignored scientific evidence and failed to take appropriate action," said Darryl Singer, Head of Class Actions at Diamond and Diamond Lawyers. The Plaintiffs allege that L'Oreal: Has sold and marketed toxic relaxer products since approximately 1970 Failed to test for or detect the presence of EDCs prior to sale Ignored consumer complaints and failed to initiate recalls or safety warnings Mislead the public through deceptive marketing, in violation of the Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act, Competition Act and Sale of Goods Act Scientific studies published in 2012 and 2021 highlighted significant links between hair relaxer use and reproductive health issues. Despite these findings, L'Oréal has not acknowledged any potential danger associated with the products. The lawsuit names two representative plaintiffs and seeks to certify a broader class of affected consumers across Canada.

EDCs empowering youth in Pilibhit Tiger Reserve
Lucknow: Established under the guidance of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and the Forest and Wildlife Department, eco-development committees (EDCs) in the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve are not only promoting eco-tourism but also creating new employment opportunities for local youth. These EDCs play a vital role in the socio-economic upliftment of the region while empowering local communities. Currently, eight EDCs are operating in areas such as Chuka (Selha), Barahi, and Chonka Kheda through the Tiger Reserve Foundation. These committees train local youth to serve as tourist guides, manage canteens, and conduct awareness campaigns. Beyond tourism, the EDCs also facilitate development projects in nearby villages, including the construction of roads, installation of solar lights, and development of ponds. Supported by the Tiger Reserve Foundation, the committees engage youth in tourism-related activities as well as in basic infrastructure initiatives. This approach promotes self-reliance among local communities and reinforces the model of inclusive growth. Each EDC receives an annual financial grant of approximately Rs 1 lakh from the Tiger Reserve Foundation, enabling smooth operations and the generation of local employment. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Good News: You May Be Richer Than You Think Undo The EDCs around the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve earn between Rs 6 lakh and Rs 10 lakh annually, which is reinvested into village development projects such as road construction, solar lighting, and water reservoir creation—significantly improving the villagers' quality of life. In addition to infrastructure development, the EDCs actively raise awareness about environmental conservation among both tourists and locals. These initiatives have proven highly effective in achieving the twin goals of ecological preservation and community development. With plans to expand such committees near other tiger reserves and forest zones, the state envisions increased employment opportunities and further rural development in the near future.

Today is World Environment Day: Plastic and hormones: Why women must rethink everyday choices
As the world observes Environment Day, a lesser-discussed but equally urgent health concern comes to light—how chemicals in plastics are silently disrupting women's hormonal health. From storing leftovers to sipping bottled water on the go, plastics are part of daily life. But hidden within this convenience are endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs)—substances that interfere with the body's natural hormone function. For women, who experience hormonal fluctuations throughout their lives, this interference can be particularly harmful. Common plastic-related EDCs like Bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates are known to mimic or block estrogen and other hormones. They're present in everything from food packaging and containers to cosmetics, sanitary products, and household cleaners. The Health Impact: Quiet but Serious Research has linked prolonged exposure to these chemicals with a host of women's health issues: irregular periods, infertility, early puberty, PCOS, endometriosis, and even breast cancer. These aren't just isolated problems—they're growing public health concerns, worsened by continuous, low-level exposure over years. 'Endocrine-disrupting chemicals don't cause immediate symptoms, but their impact on the hormonal system can be profound and long-lasting, especially in women, who are hormonally more dynamic throughout life,' says Dr. Mahesh D M, Consultant – Endocrinology, Aster CMI Hospital, Bangalore. 'Exposure during adolescence, pregnancy, or menopause can have lifelong consequences.' Unlike obvious toxins, EDCs often build up silently. They enter the body through food, touch, or even the air, gradually affecting hormonal balance. The risks are especially high during vulnerable periods like pregnancy, adolescence, and menopause. Environmental Harm Equals Hormonal Harm Environmental degradation and personal health are more connected than ever. Plastics that pollute oceans and landfills also leak harmful chemicals into food chains—and our bodies. On World Environment Day, it's important to recognise that the environmental footprint of plastic isn't just ecological—it's biological. 'In urban settings, women are frequently exposed to plastics not just through food but also through personal care products, which may contain hormone-disrupting chemicals hidden behind vague ingredient labels,' he adds. Being aware of these sources is the first step to prevention.' Women, especially in urban India, are at increased risk due to daily use of packaged goods, cosmetics, and plastic storage containers. The very products meant to offer ease and hygiene may be contributing to long-term health issues. Everyday Actions for Safer Living While complete avoidance of plastic is difficult, some small, mindful changes can go a long way in reducing exposure: • Switch to glass or stainless-steel containers for storing food and drinking water. • Avoid microwaving food in plastic containers, even if they are labeled as microwave-safe. • Opt for fragrance-free or organic personal care products, which are often more transparent about ingredients. • Reduce consumption of canned or heavily packaged foods. • Read product labels—especially on cosmetics and baby products. These habits, once adopted, can not only protect hormonal health but also reduce the household's environmental footprint. Awareness Leads to Empowerment Most women make countless daily choices for their homes and families. By choosing safer products and spreading awareness, they can lead a powerful shift toward better health and sustainability. On this World Environment Day, let's look beyond air pollution and climate change. Let's turn the lens inward—towards the products we use, the packaging we trust, and the long-term health consequences we rarely question.

Tadoba on alert as wild tuskers from Gadchiroli near core area
Nagpur: The forest department is closely monitoring two wild tuskers that entered the buffer zone of Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve (TATR) from Gadchiroli district on Friday. The elephants have since been moving along the periphery of the core area, prompting a heightened state of vigilance. TATR field director Prabhu Nath Shukla confirmed that the elephants crossed the Huma River and entered Kukadheti village in the buffer zone. "We are tracking their movement closely. As of Saturday evening, they have not entered the core area," Shukla told TOI. According to TATR officials, the elephants passed through forest compartments 808, 270A, and 270B, and were later spotted at Naleshwar Talav. By nightfall, their tracks suggested movement toward compartment 319, close to the core zone. The forest department has activated local Eco-Development Committees (EDCs) and Protection Response Teams (PRTs) to assist in monitoring and awareness efforts. Villagers are being advised to avoid solitary movements in forested areas and to remain indoors during night hours. Personnel from nearby forest ranges, along with rescue teams and the Special Tiger Protection Force (STPF), have been deployed. They are using night vision devices, infrared drones, and elephant deterrents to ensure safety and to track the tuskers' route. Staff have also been stationed at elevated observation points for better visibility. Officials have urged the public not to panic or believe in rumours. Any sightings or concerns should be reported directly to the forest department.
