use remove() on multiple elements

I am trying to remove all elements that have a tag name of label. I have the following code. It works to some degree, but it only removes 1 label. The other 5 still remain. How can I change the code to remove all label tags?

element = document.getElementsByTagName(label);

for (index = 0; index < element.length; index++) {

    element[index].parentNode.removeChild(element[index]);

}
