Life Saved #3981

On April 28th, 2025 a 12-month-old girl choked on banana bread. Protocol was not followed. LifeVac successfully dislodged the food on its first attempt! The child’s mother described the incident as follows:

“Our daughter is doing really well now. After the incident, she would not let us put her down or go down for a nap the rest of the day. She was very shaken but she has been sleeping at night and doing really well ever since. She was a 34-week preemie and in the NICU for 12 days at birth but we have no way of knowing if that contributed to her choking. She did have some gagging issues early on so I always started her on foods a few months later than the recommended age. My mom and her 3 siblings all have a LifeVac in their homes as well. We have one in our kitchen and one in our diaper bag at all times and are so grateful for it. My mom's 3 living relatives all have Huntington's disease and choking is very common so we are very grateful for the product.

For our daughter everything happened so fast that we did not try any other means and went right for the LifeVac when she was turning red and it worked quickly. I couldn't be more thankful for the product. She is an IVF baby that took 4 years to bring into this world. We had a long fertility journey so the amount of love and joy she brings us is priceless. Again, we are so grateful to your company and your wonderful device.”
