Amazon Echo owners have been issued a security warning after a number in the United States automatically ordered dolls' houses being discussed on a TV show.
The high-tech gadgets have become a recent addition to hundreds of thousands of UK homes, after being one of the most popular presents at Christmas.
Owners can ask virtual assistant "Alexa" to carry out tasks, including internet shopping, using their voice as a command.
But a recent incident has shown that they are vulnerable to making potentially expensive mistakes.
Last week a San Diego TV station sparked complaints after a report about a girl who ordered a dolls' house via her parents' Amazon Echo caused devices in viewers' homes to also attempt to order dolls' houses.
