 #### Label
 
-The label for an `<sp-clear-button>` element can be set via it's default slot or with the `label` attribute. With either method, the label will not be visible but still read by screen readers.

+An accessible label for an `<sp-clear-button>` must be provided using the `label` attribute. This sets the `aria-label` for screen readers. Unlike other button types, the clear button only displays an icon and does not render slot content, so the `label` attribute is the only way to provide an accessible name.
