Have you added the menu to the permissions-part of your manifest.json?
More info can be found here.

Context items persist between extension reloads - something not very obvious.
So you're getting this when this code is executed a second time.
A common pattern is clear-then-register:
chrome.contextMenus.removeAll(function()
chrome.contextMenus.create(contextMenuItem);
// Add more
);
If you're using an Event page (persistent: false background page), you probably don't want to execute that every time the page is woken up; wrap it in chrome.runtime.onStartup or even chrome.runtime.onInstalled (to register once per update).
