### Why is this important?
A descriptive label for an interactive component is necessary to make the component's purpose clear and allows it to be referred to in voice commands.
A label can also include a text symbol, such as an asterisk indicating the labelled field is required.
<!-- This is where the code snippet is injected -->
<div id="locSnippet"></div>
### What to do
* Add text to the empty `<label>` element that clearly identifies the purpose of the interactive component being labelled.
