Amazon and eBay have removed a super-hot tortilla chip linked to the death of an American teenager from sale. The parents of Harris Wolobah, 14, believe that the One Chip Challenge caused his death last week. It was taken off shelves in the US, where it was widely sold, but imports from global sellers remained on-sale. Snack-maker Paqui claims that the single tortilla, sold in a coffin-shaped box, contains a blend of "the hottest peppers available". Millions of people have watched YouTubers and TikTokers attempt the viral dare and their extreme reactions to it. It's thought the popularity of the challenge has inspired lots of teenagers to purchase the product, which carries a warning label, to try it for themselves. On Thursday, Paqui posted a statement on its website about its decision to remove stock from American stores. The company said the challenge was "intended for adults only" and not for anyone with underlying health conditions or allergies. But it said it had seen an "increase in teens and other individuals not heeding these warnings".
