On March 6th, 2026, a 35-year-old woman choked on a hamburger resulting in a total obstruction. Protocol was not followed as LifeVac was self-administered and successfully dislodged the obstruction on its second attempt. The woman described the incident as follows:
“I was in the house with my 7-year-old son when I became choked on a bite of a hamburger. I was able to get to the LifeVac that we keep in our kitchen and used it to dislodge it. I am so thankful that I purchased this from Amazon a few years ago. This “just in case” item may have genuinely saved me from dying in the kitchen in front of my child. I am forever thankful for this product and all the work you all have done!”
