It’s well known that Alexa uses knowledge from “an Alexa answers contributor.” It’s also stated verbally. There have been plenty of answers I’ve received which are incorrect and/or harmful. Many I know who use Alexa have realized this. I personally don’t use Alexa to answer any questions outside of actuating lights and getting package delivery notifications.

Harmful in what way? Like telling you to drink drain cleaner or something?

Perhaps harmful is too strong. When asking about calories or carbs the answers are wrong. Also if I ask if my dog can have X I can’t trust it. I have to google. For example radishes.
