    Were they not labled as “18+” as they are here? Why the heck did a kid eat them, then?

      well you see the child simply ignored the warnings on the packet because of being a child and making bad decisions

      I have also heard of cases where children and teenagers have ignored restrictions saying they can’t drink and smoke because they aren’t 18

        Well, then don’t blame the company for the terminal stupidity of a teenager. Maybe blame the shop that sold the stuff, either for selling it to him, or not taking the necessary care about 18+ items, if he just stole it.

      He was 14.

      At 14, I guarantee you did stupid shit. And at 14, I’m sure you didn’t expect the grocery store to sell you food with fatal amounts of capsaicin in it.

      It was a dumb idea, sure, but he was a fucking child and likely didn’t think it would be legitimately dangerous.
