Is it true that two parents without red hair can have a red-haired child?
Unclear. One item notes that a rare autosomal recessive disorder (POMC deficiency) can produce red hair, which implies carrier parents without red hair could have a red-haired child, but only in that rare condition. No retrieved item directly addresses the general claim about two non-red-haired parents having a red-haired child.
