Brazil'S Parliament Has Passed New Laws Requiring Labels On Underwear To Be Identified As Health Warnings.

After 12 years of deliberation,

The bill stipulates that there must be health warnings on bra, underwear and other underwear packaging to remind customers to scan for diseases in the breast, prostate and uterus.

In addition, adult female underwear packaging should be reminded of the use of condoms information.

But lawmakers objected to the suggestion that these labels should be printed on clothing labels. The labels were too small for underwear manufacturers to print these reminders on the packaging.

Any manufacturer who breaks the rules will face penalties, prohibition of advertising or even stop selling.

The plan to identify health warnings on underwear was put forward by Barbosa Neto, a former Brazil congressman, in 1999, but it has only been approved by Congress in 1999.

Once Brazil President Rousseff signs the bill, underwear manufacturers will have 180 days to prepare and make new packaging.

Some underwear manufacturers have begun to question the bill, saying that customers usually do not read these labels, while printing various warnings may lead to price increases.

But many doctors support the bill. They believe that health warnings on underwear can play the same role as tobacco alerts.

A gynecologist said, "people may not see these signs every time, but there are always people who talk about it.

I think this bill will help prevent many cancers. "
