Labels on elements that can't have them
Lighthouse / axe call it: Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes · Elements use prohibited ARIA attributes
An aria-label was put on plain text or a container, where screen readers ignore it.
Who it leaves out: blind people (screen readers)
How to fix it
Move the label to the interactive element. Developer task.
In the code
Remove aria-label / aria-labelledby from this element (plain text, div, span without a role): screen readers ignore it there. Put the label on the interactive element instead.
