KABC-TV reports, Rene Craighead, 17, estimates she was eating about four bags a day of different spicy flavored chips.
She apparently developed a pain in her stomach, went to the hospital and had to have her gallbladder removed.
Her doctor believes the hot chips could be partly to blame.
Frito-Lay and Takis both released separate statements reassuring their chips are safe to eat but added they should be enjoyed in moderation.
