Listen to this article

A website ‘ReportQuickly’ published an article on 14th November 2014 indicating that a large number of people found dead after eating ‘Patti Sweet Potato Pie’. It is considered as the brand of pie named for a singer Patti LaBelle. The article indicated that more than 235 people have been dead on 13th November after eating the most popular Patti’s Sweet Potato Pie. Now this item has been pulled off from Wal-Mart stores. The removal of this item took place after publishing a video about viral pies. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that estimated 100,000 pies were made in the months of October & November contaminated with Tetrodetoxin. It is a deadly toxic material found in the puff fish and blue ringed octopus.

It is considered a flavorless poison and a human can die within minutes after consumption. It is said that a victim would become nerveless and flowing blood to brain can be stopped immediately. The FDA and CDC are doing a combine investigation in the factory in order to find that how pies became contaminated. The CDC said in an initial report that pies were made in the same factory where a large number of puffer fish were being un-poisoned and prepared. Now the company has issued a statement alerted the customers that Wal-Mart has started accepting returns of all Patti Sweet Potato Pies. The above article was widely republished and shared on most of the social media websites. But we found that all the above story of death of a large number of people is false.
