If this error occurs while using Material UI <Typography> https://material-ui.com/api/typography/, then you can easily change the <p> to a <span> by changing the value of the component attribute of the <Typography> element :
<Typography component={'span'} variant={'body2'}>
According to the typography docs:
component : The component used for the root node. Either a string to use a DOM element or a component. By default, it maps the variant to a good default headline component.
So Typography is picking <p> as a sensible default, which you can change. May come with side effects … worked for me.
