This is most likely a false positive, there should be an update to the ruleset from the IBMa team soon.

Hey @nkn2022 ! I do not see this issue on the latest deployment, am I missing something ?
Could you confirm this on the latest version of checker

this looks like a false positive similar to this

@2nikhiltom Looks like the accessibility checker tool itself was updated for some corrections. I do not see this issue reported anymore on our UI using the same version of carbon react :)

Will close this as not reproducible anymore. Thanks for checking.
