A screenshot that purportedly shows a Daily Mirror headline reading: “Concerns grow over link between use of sex toys and heart attacks in women” is digitally altered - and the headline was never published by the UK news outlet.

Reuters found no such article published on the Mirror’s website (www.mirror.co.uk/) following an advanced Google search (bit.ly/34LMRpB), but did find an article published at the same time on the same date, which was written by the same author and accompanied by the same image and caption (here). Reuters has previously addressed fake images purporting to show authentic news articles shared online here, here, here, here and here. The screenshot purportedly showing a Daily Mirror headline about growing concerns over the link between the use of sex toys and heart attacks in women is digitally altered.
