We evaluate the effects of final-state interactions on the decay of a light Higgs boson to two pions. Although the formalism is completely general and can be applied to any strong-interaction decay mode of the Higgs boson, we are particularly interested in the regime where the Higgs-boson mass m/sub h/ satisfies the constraint 2m/sub ..pi../ mu../sup +/..mu../sup -/) approx. =0/sup -2/--10/sup -1/.
