Notes

Have you been affected by PPD?

Para-phenylenediamine (PPD) is a chemical that is all too commonly found in hair dyes. It fixes hair dyes to the hair so that it remains permanent.

The government is currently being asked to review the use of PPD in hair dyes.  In the meantime, allergic reactions such as itching, burning, swelling of the head and breathing difficulties are being linked to products containing PPD.

EAD Solicitors LLP are currently assisting clients with potential claims against the manufacturers of such products.  One particular client, bought a popular home dye kit and in accordance with the manufacturers instructions carried out the recommended patch test, with no reactions.  However, when the dye was applied to her head, she suffered an allergic reaction which caused her head and ears to swell and her scalp to burn.  She was left with a severe rash and required medical attention.   

If you think that you have suffered a similar reaction and would like some further advice, then contact our sympathetic team, who will be happy to discuss your personal experiences and advise you.
