The maker of an extremely spicy tortilla chip has said it is working to remove the product from US stores as authorities investigate the death of a teenager whose family have pointed to the One Chip Challenge popularised on social media as a contributing factor.

The cause of Harris Wolobah’s death in Massachusetts on September 1 has yet to be determined and a post-mortem examination is pending, but the 14-year-old’s family have blamed the challenge.
