Tortilla chip brand Paqui says it is voluntarily removing its ultra-spicy “One Chip Challenge” from shelves after a Massachusetts family claims their 14-year-old son may have died from complications from the challenge.
hmmm maybe we shouldnt let companies and people sell whatever the fuck they want
I mean, they designed the chip as a thing to be eaten. It doesn’t appear that the marketing made the child eat it in a way that was different from anyone else.
The chip has a warning label that it’s not intended for children, pregnant people, people with underlying health conditions. Really kind of hard to blame the company here unless they were pushing the challenge or marketing to kids
Still seems kind of thin to me, especially considering teens’ proclivities to test boundaries and try to emulate adults. I hope you’re not saying this is the kid’s fault.

I think it’s just a senseless tragedy. Do you want to ban alcohol too because teens want to drink?
The “challenge” part of it is clearly marketed at kids (it’s not exclusively kids who do viral challenges like this, but it’s predominantly kids).
