Harris Wolobah, 14, was one of millions of teens said to have been influenced by viral clips of influencers doing the 'One Chip Challenge'.

Retailers in the UK,and other countries have started recalling a super-hot tortilla chip after it was linked to the death of an American teenager.

Another boy in his early teens, Jack Pedigo, has since said he experienced severe seizure-like symptoms after eating the chip. The ingredients list Naga Viper and Carolina Reaper peppers, which have been certified as the first and second hottest chilli peppers in the world by the Guinness Book of World Records and were deliberately bred as hybrid varieties to achieve this feat.They can be safely consumed and are widely included in specialist hot sauces, and the heat of a product generally depends more on the concentration of spice extracts in the recipe rather than the variety of chilli used.
