This underwear brand will now sew cancer warning labels into boxers and bras

Morrisons, the UK's supermarket chain, has partnered with the NHS UK to introduce cancer warning labels in undergarments. The advisory labels will display early signs of breast and testicular cancer, as reported by AFP. Morrisons will begin by placing warning labels in the boxer shorts of its Nutmeg clothing line, and in the upcoming months, they will extend this initiative to crop top bras.

"This marks the first occasion in which the entire NHS has collaborated with a national supermarket brand to incorporate health messaging on clothing. The goal is to motivate thousands more individuals to be conscious of their bodies, enabling them to recognize new or unexplained changes that might signify early symptoms of cancer," stated NHS England's National Director for Cancer, Cally Palmer, in a statement to the media.
