LifeVac helped save 11 more lives today in choking emergencies! Today, we received incredible reports from the U.S and Canada.
A 5-year-old girl from New Jersey choked on a hot dog while at a family friend's home. "My son remembered the LifeVac that I had given them several years ago, and it was in their kitchen cabinet. (By the way, I gave one to my son and also to my daughter and her family, both of whom rolled their eyes at the time I gifted that. Anyway, he ran in and grabbed it. The little girl was starting to turn blue. He put it on her face and gave one push, and the hot dog immediately came out."
