I’m writing to inform you that my mother was able to save my daughter’s life using the Dechoker. My daughter is four years old and doesn’t always chew her food well. She took a bite of a banana and choked. My mother, a registered nurse trained in using the Heimlich maneuver, was unable to dislodge the food and grabbed the Dechoker. The Dechoker removed the food instantly. I’m so glad we have a Dechoker in the house just in case of situations like this. Everyone should have one in their home. Thanks. A.W.
