## Documentation

### Overview

The Check component is provided for use cases outside of forms. If it is used without label text ensure some sort of label for assistive technologies. (for example: `aria-label`)

If you extend this component or modify the styles of this component, then make sure any hover styles defined are applied to the clickable elements, like `<input>` or `<label>` since hover styles are used to convey the clickable target area of an element. To maximize the target area, use the example html where the `<label>` is the wrapping element.

### Accessibility
