How much risk would there be with this 'repeating of a sentence' situation?

[JennyTTGT]

Hello,

A business owner and design decision was made on a published article page to have a summary sentence/paragraph placed prominently with a unique font treatment in the article header along with the article's main imagery.

Historical content that does not have this summary migrated with "the first sentence of the article" used for this introduction/summary sentence/paragraph.

In both cases, where there is a unique summary and where the first sentence is used, the article text normally begins below a graphical element below the summary element.  Thus, when the first sentence was used for the summary, the first sentence will repeat, relatively close together on each page where this happens.

The question is:  How much risk would i be taking on in allowing the first sentence of these articles to get repeated in close proximity on the page.

I wanted to get some other perspectives on this unique situation.

Thanks,
