The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has proposed a new rule to ban hair-straightening products that contain or emit formaldehyde, according to the New York Times. Frequent exposure to chemical hair straighteners is linked to increased risk of endometrial and ovarian cancer, along with chronic symptoms like headaches or allergic reactions. The rule is expected to go into effect in April 2024.
