MASSACHUSETTS- The company that has become popular over the viral “One Chip Challenge” has pulled its chips off the shelves after a teen died.
Harris Wolobah, 14, a student at Doherty Memorial High School died on Friday after eating the single Paqui chip while participating in the challenge.
The company released a statement on their site which read:
“The Paqui one chip challenge is intended for adults only, with clear and prominent labeling highlighting the chip is not for children or anyone sensitive to spicy foods or who has food allergies, is pregnant or has underlying health conditions.
‘We have seen an increase in teens and other individuals not heeding these warnings. As a result, while the product continues to adhere to food safety standards, out of an abundance of caution, we are actively working with our retailers to remove the product from shelves.”
The company added that they are offering refunds on their single-serve one chip challenge product.
An official cause of death for Wolobah is unknown at this time.
