Phylis was having dinner with her husband and her 63-year-old daughter, when, while eating boneless spare ribs, her daughter got up from the table to get something from the kitchen. All of a sudden she began to lose consciousness, and could only point to the cabinet where the Dechoker was kept. Phylis and her husband used the Dechoker and the piece of meat was immediately dislodged. Phylis shared the following: "If I did not have the DeChoker I would not have my daughter. It saved my daughter’s life when she was choking. I grabbed the Dechoker and inserted in her mouth and pulled out the plunger. She immediately responded and wanted to vomit. She did and was fine. I have sent them to my entire family." - Phylis A.
