The death of a teenager has sparked warnings over attempts to complete the ‘One Chip Challenge’ that involves eating an extremely spicy tortilla chip.
14-year-old Harris Wolobah died on September 1 after taking part in the viral social media challenge.
Harris, of Worcester Massachusetts, was taken ill with severe stomach ache after trying the challenge. He collapsed and was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead.“I pray to god that no parents will go through what I am going through,” Harris’s mother Louis Wolobah told CBS in tears. “I don’t want to see anybody hurting the way I’m hurting. I miss my son so much.”
The UK’s Food Standards Agency said it was aware of reports of people being sent to hospital in agony after taking part. The maker of the chip, Paqui, a brand owned by The Hershey Company, has previously said it takes “safety very seriously” and has “worked hard” to ensure its products are properly “labelled with allergen and safety information”.
