The parents of a 14-year-old who died last year after participating in the “One Chip Challenge” are suing the snack companies they blame for his death.

Lois and Amos Wolobah, the parents of a Massachusetts teen who died after eating a spicy chip, announced Thursday that they had filed a wrongful-death lawsuit in the case. Harris Wolobah passed out in September as his teacher was writing him a note to see the nurse at his Massachusetts high school, according to a lawsuit filed Thursday. When the 14-year-old regained consciousness and complained of severe stomach pain, someone asked whether he had taken any drugs or alcohol, the suit says.

“This product should never have been available to adults, let alone children. It should never have been out on the shelves,” Sheff said Thursday at a news conference. “What do they do? They kept pushing it and pushing it — until poor Harris died.”that last year’s One Chip Challenge chips were covered in seasoning made from “two of the hottest peppers currently available,” theand the Naga Viper.

The autopsy report noted that Harris had a “cardiomegaly and myocardial bridging of the left anterior descending coronary artery” — an enlarged heart and a congenital heart condition, Driscoll said. But Sheff said at Thursday’s news conference that Harris would have had “a normal, healthy life with a normal life expectancy” if he hadn’t eaten the chip.
