HTML: Label for Checkbox in other Cell of a Table

I have included some checkboxes on my website which are arranged using a table. The arrangement is not the problem, but I am using the label-tag and unfortunately, it is not working with the table.

When using labels outside of tables or within a table cell it is working without any problems:

<label><input type="checkbox" name="cb" value="1"> Text</label>

But as soon as trying to arrange the checkbox in another table cell than the text of the label, it is not working anymore:

<tr>
  <td><label><input type="checkbox" name="cb" value="1"></td>
  <td>Text</label></td>
</tr>

So, the first example is working, the second example is not working. What can I do? For my arrangement it would be nice to divide the checkbox from the label text, but it is not working like this.
