DALLAS, Texas — A Christmas gift from a woman's in-laws led to some pricey purchases by a 6-year old girl.
that Megan Neitzel, of Dallas, Texas, ended up paying for cookies and a toy her daughter accidentally ordered from Amazon's Echo Dot by talking to Alexa, the device's voice service.
Neitzel was surprised when she got a confirmation email from Amazon about a dollhouse and cookies that had been ordered. She did not have the Amazon Echo set up for very long before getting the email.
When she asked her daughter, Brooke, about the items, her daughter was relatively coy but did say she asked Alexa about the items.
