Parents blame 'One Chip Challenge' for son's death
The Poqui One Chip Challenge has been making the rounds on social media. One spicy foods retailor in Houston says he doesn't sell the product to kids under 18, and customers have to sign a wavier at the store. The single packaged chip has the same potency as pepper spray.

No it's called pair of your kids and monitor their social media there's no such thing as privacy when they live under their parents roof. Drug addicts say that about you know increasing fentanyl deaths right underneath the roof of the parents house.

Its not the chips fault. The chips have a WARNING label. why cant people read labels!?!?! If it’s potentially dangerous dont do it!!! Only because yall dont like it dont mean other gotta give up that stuff. And this isnt just about the chips there have been many other cases like this for other stuff. Its hard to start any type of business nowa days because people will sue you for everything.
The one chip challenge has been around for 15 years. I take medication because of heartburn one of these chips would definitely kill me.😢

You do not have to sign a waver, it was one proprietor that sold the chip voluntarily made it their policy. Nor is there a law or some requirement from Paqui to sign a waver.

This is horrible. My heart goes out to the family. I doubt it had anything to do with the chip. This challenge has been going on for at least five years and I did a quick Google search and couldn’t find a single case where someone died. I’ll definitely keep up with the story. Especially the autopsy.

Should probably wait for the facts. An autopsy will clear this up pretty quickly

Its a chip and if your parents have not taught you not to eat things its their fault not the chips trying to restrict others from eating what they want
"blames one chip challenge"... pretty sure that's why Paqui put a big warning label on the packages.
Dr. James Udelson, chief of cardiology at Tufts Medical Center. "Large doses of capsaicin can increase how the heart squeezes, putting extra pressure on the artery, noted Dr. Syed Haider, a cardiologist at MedStar Washington Hospital Center. But while the autopsy results suggest that a heart defect probably made Harris more vulnerable to the negative effects of the chile pepper extract, people without underlying risk factors can also experience serious heart problems from ingesting large amounts of capsaicin, Haider said."
I’ve seen these for sale at the local grocery store- no waiver in Charlotte
Anyone who tires lacks the intelligence to live out his normal life. If it wasn't this chip that killed the kid , it would have been something else.

Oh, I was agreeing with your post 😅 sorry. 👌🏾😎✨️
As sad as this is nobody force the kid to eat the chip, the spicy chip has been around for a long time. No one forced the kid to eat it. Unfortunately, he just had a bad reaction to it and died. No one is blaming him for that but you can’t blame a company for that unless they have some harm chemicals in it or sometime.
America can ban chips but not guns
So what did the parents do?? Where were the parents after the fact!! Talk to your kids folks be involved in their life!!

He didn't have any buy it for him & adult gave it to him so blame them for it but I'm assuming it's for adults only kids can't buy it in stores
This chip has been around for a long time now. I feel like something else had to have been going on. I have eaten this chip 3 times and I had indigestion real bad afterwards. If it was the chip then it should have killed millions of people already and it hasn't. It is sad but something else had to have been happening.
Is fox sponsored by tik tok to say it so much when actually the challenge is on the box and it says nothing about tik tok on it.
is paqui chips too spicy for me
Yeah don't blame someone else, its their fault for failing to educate their child well enough so he doesn't jump off a cliff when everyone else is doing it
You know what's more scary than the chip how quickly these Communists can suspend your kid from school for 😂nothing

Since then I have slowly built up my tolerance and now have eaten several of the hottest peppers in the world including Ghost Peppers, Reapers, Scorpions, and lots more. I know what hot is.
