A woman named Robin Phillips has a fresh haircut dyed green, which hides a scar on the side of her head from two craniotomies. For nearly 30 years, she used the injectable contraceptive Depo-Provera every three months, except when she gave birth to two children. Today, she believes that this birth control is the cause of her brain tumor. She is one of more than 1,000 women suing Pfizer, the drug's maker. The lawsuit alleges that Pfizer knew about the risks and failed to warn users about them. The case is mentioned in NBC News in an early news release on October 2, 2025.

Washing your hair in a salon should be a relaxing experience.
