On July 9th, 2026, an 8-year-old boy choked on a hotdog resulting in a total obstruction. LifeVac dislodged the obstruction on its third attempt. The child's grandmother described the incident as follows:
“We had just come in from a day of swimming to get a bite to eat. We fixed some hotdogs and the first bite that our grandson took got lodged in his throat. It happened so quick. I had my back to him and when I turned around, he had a look on his face of fear. I said “are you choking” and he nodded his head yes. I ran to get my LifeVac and asked Jesus to help me. I asked him to lay on the floor and proceeded to use it on him. When it was over, we hugged and cried and thanked Jesus and LifeVac. Afterwards he said “l’m glad you bought that for us Grammy”. The event did scare him though and he said he’s never eating another hotdog, I don’t blame him.
We’re getting ready to order a couple travel kits so we can always have one with us. I’ve been telling everyone about them and even suggested that my employer purchase a couple for our buildings. Thank you for producing a quality product that actually works. My grandson is living proof!! I’m forever a grateful grandmother! God Bless You!!”
