I hope the company is held accountable if the autopsy says the chip was related. The packaging and "challenge" is something teenagers will eat up. How about a massive disclaimer on the chip? Sad.

There is a massive disclaimer, and even the first rule of the challenge is to read the warning label. Labels don't do shit, though, anyone with a nicotine addiction can tell you that.

After all, if there's one thing teenagers are known for, it's properly reading and following warning labels.
