Unilever is facing a lawsuit over its drugstore brand shampoo and conditioner, Trésemme. The lawsuit was filed in the Northern Illinois District Court. It claims that Trésemme Keratin Hair Smoothing Shampoo and Conditioner can cause hair loss and scalp irritation. A preservative used in the products, DMDM hydantoin, can slowly release formaldehyde when exposed to water. Formaldehyde is known to cause cancer.
