-    <p>Blueprint provides two ways of connecting label text to control fields, depending on the complexity of the control.</p>
-    <p>Simple labels are a basic way to connect a label with a single control.</p>
-    <p>Form groups support more complex control layouts but require more markup to maintain consistent visuals.</p>
+Wrapping a `<label>` element around a form input effectively increases the area
+where the user can click to activate the control. Notice how in the examples
+below, clicking a label focuses its `<input>`.
+
+<div class="@ns-callout @ns-intent-warning @ns-icon-warning-sign">
+    <h4 class="@ns-heading">Prefer form groups over labels</h4>
+    The [React `FormGroup` component](#core/components/form-group) provides
+    additional functionality such as helper text and modifier props as well as
+    full label support. `FormGroup` supports both simple and complex use cases,
+    therefore we recommend using it exclusively when constructing forms.

 @## CSS API
 
-@### Simple labels
-
 Simple labels are useful for basic forms for a single `<input>`.
 
-- Add extra information to the label with `span.@ns-text-muted`.
-
-- Putting the `<input>` element _inside_ a `<label>` element increases the area where the user
-can click to activate the control. Notice how in the examples below, clicking a `<label>` focuses its `<input>`.
+Apply disabled styles with the `@ns-disabled` class. This styles the label text,
+but does not disable any nested children like inputs or selects. You must add
+the `:disabled` attribute directly to any nested elements to disable them.
+Similarly the respective `@ns-*` form control will need a `.@ns-disabled`
+modifier. See the examples below.
 
 @css label
 
-@### Disabled labels
-
-Add the `.@ns-label` and `.@ns-disabled` class modifiers to a `<label>` to make the label appear
-disabled.

-This component is a simple wrapper around the corresponding CSS API. It supports the full range of HTML props.

-```tsx
-<Label
-    helperText="Helper text with details..."
-    text="Label A"
->
-    <input className="@ns-input" id="text-input" placeholder="Placeholder text" />
-</Label>
