We are happy to report that this 7-year-old little girl was saved from choking on French Fries with the Dechoker. Her father, Mark, told us: "So about a week ago my daughter was eating French fries and ran into her room. My wife and I thought she was playing or going into her room to play. About a minutes later she came out crying. We asked why was she crying. We asked if she was hurt. She shook no. We asked if she was sad. She shook again no. Luckily we asked if she was choking she nodded yes. My wife picked her up and I jumped up to grab the Dechoker. I keep it on the kitchen counter in the bag but always kept the bag open for quick use. I told my wife to put our daughter down to keep from hurting her ribs. I put the Dechoker on her and pulled. The balled-up French fries came right out. She was fine. I asked if it hurt her throat being pulled out. She said no. She smiled and said she was okay. I asked why did she run into her room and she said that when she started choking, she was scared that her mom may get mad at her so she went into her room to try to cough it up. When she couldn’t, she came out for help. Scared me so much that she did that. What if she would have passed out? We thought she was playing. We may not have gone in there for a while. Anyways, I bought this because she has choked before several times. I have shown her lots of times how to signal if you choke but I guess she was just really scared." Mark E.
