"My 2 year old choked on a gummy elderberry vitamin that he eats every single day. My first instinct was to bend my son over and hit his back. That helped some but I suddenly remembered that I had the Dechoker device and I ran to get it and this took care of the rest. I’m grateful for this device and am purchasing a replacement one. Praying that I won’t need to use it again but I’m fully prepared to if need be. The actual gummy vitamin didn’t come up, he ended up swallowing it but the Dechoker prevented him from choking on the built up mucus. There was a lot of it! By the time the Firefighter EMT’s arrived he was completely fine and asked to go to the park. They checked him out and said that everything looked good. I showed them the Dechoker and what was inside and they said that it looked like that was what made the difference. I bought the Dechoker in December 2020 and I’m glad that I did. I don’t know what would have happened yesterday if I hadn’t. Afterwards, my son took pictures with the Fire Captain and one of the EMT’s in front of their fire truck which was a happy ending to a very scary situation." Gloria
