I can't help but wonder if some of those would classify as an "attractive nuisance" in legal terminology if a neighbor or child ate one.

I had to read the wiki article. It's been a while since I took torts. The doctrine can be applied to virtually anything, according to that article. The problem with the pepper scenario is that there are no permanent damages from eating a hot pepper, so there would be nothing to sue over.
