Willnice Saves 5-Year-Old Girl Choking on Apple Piece

Willnice Saves 5-Year-Old Girl Choking on Apple Piece

On September 15th, 2024, a dramatic and life-threatening incident occurred involving a 5-year-old girl named Emma. She was enjoying her afternoon snack, a piece of apple, when suddenly she began to choke. The apple piece had become lodged in her throat, causing a severe obstruction.

Emma's mother, noticing her daughter's distress—characterized by an inability to speak, cough effectively, or breathe—immediately recognized the signs of choking. Her initial reaction was to perform back blows, but when these attempts failed to clear the obstruction, the situation became increasingly dire.

In a swift decision, Emma's father retrieved the Willnice Anti-Choking Device from their emergency kit. With precise and calm handling, he placed the device over Emma’s mouth and nose and activated it. The obstruction was cleared on the first attempt, allowing Emma to gasp in air and start crying, a sign that she was breathing again.

Reflecting on the incident, Emma's mother shared,

"It was the most terrifying moment of our lives. Seeing your child unable to breathe is heart-stopping. We had practiced using the Willnice device after purchasing it, hoping never to need it. Thank goodness we had it; it literally saved our daughter’s life. I can't imagine what might have happened without it. This incident has taught us the importance of preparation. Every second counts in a choking emergency, and having the right tool at the right time can make all the difference."
