A mom's Amazon Echo reportedly recommended a dangerous online challenge to her child earlier this week.
On Sunday, Kristin Livdahl tweeted a screengrab writing, "My 10 year old just asked Alexa on our Echo for a challenge and this is what she said."
The article that Alexa referenced in her apparent response to Livdahl’s daughter was a January 2020 report from ourcommunitynow.com, which warned parents against the trend called the "outlet challenge."In a statement to Fox News, an Amazon spokesperson said: "Customer trust is at the center of everything we do and Alexa is designed to provide accurate, relevant, and helpful information to customers.
"We were doing some physical challenges, like laying down and rolling over holding a shoe on your foot, from a Phy Ed teacher on YouTube earlier," Livdahl tweeted. "Bad weather outside. She just wanted another one."
