<\/p>\n
A Massachusetts teen is dead after eating an incredibly spicy chip that’s the subject of a viral challenge — and his family is directly blaming the snack.<\/p>\n
14-year-old Harris Wolobah<\/strong> passed away Friday in Worcester — and, according to his mother, it’s the result of complications he suffered after eating a Paqui chip at school earlier in the day.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n His official cause of death is still pending, but Harris was attempting the “One Chip Challenge,” which has been around for a few years now. Paqui advertises its chip with a skull on a coffin-shaped box … which contains the one tortilla chip.<\/p>\n There are warning labels all over the packaging … including one that says children should not eat it, nor should people who have certain allergens or who are sensitive to spicy foods.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Harris’ mother says she was contacted by his school Friday, because he was complaining of a stomach ache after eating the chip. By the time he came home, she says he felt better — and was even on his way to a basketball tryout — before things went south and he collapsed.<\/p>\n He was rushed to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Now, his mom is ripping the response, telling NBC Boston<\/strong> Harris should’ve been taken straight to the hospital by school officials … rather than being sent to the nurse’s office.<\/p>\n The school hasn’t responded to that criticism, but the district superintendent says they’re mourning his death.<\/p>\n Paqui’s One Chip Challenge has been scrutinized before, and the company’s defended itself … saying it goes out of the way to warn consumers about who should and shouldn’t partake.<\/p>\n
