Alexa 'challenges' 10-year-old girl to put penny in wall socket - mimicking TikTok trend in 2020

Amazon's Alexa will provide users with challenges to complete when asked, but a mother was shocked when the digital assistant suggested her 10-year-old daughter try a potentially deadly TikTok challenge. Kristin Livdahl tweeted about the incident on Sunday, stating that Alexa told her child to'plug in a phone charger about halfway into a wall outlet, then touch a penny to the exposed prongs.' This'outlet challenge' was a TikTok trend in the US last year. An Amazon spokesperson told DailyMail.com in an email: 'The tweet is not fake however the challenge is no longer live. As soon as we became aware of the issue, we took swift action to fix it.'
