Willnice Saves 65-Year-Old Man from Choking on a Chunk of Steak

On the evening of March 15, 2022, John Smith, a 65-year-old retired teacher, was dining with his family at home. Known to have swallowing difficulties, John was particularly cautious with his diet. However, during the meal, a piece of steak became lodged in his throat, causing him to choke.

The room fell into immediate panic as John clutched at his throat, unable to speak or breathe. His wife, Maria, recognizing the severity of the situation, called for help while their son, Michael, rushed to retrieve the Willnice anti-choking device, which they had purchased after learning about John's increased risk of choking due to his condition.

With no time to waste, Michael quickly placed the mask over John’s face, pushed down the handle, and then pulled up, effectively dislodging the steak within seconds, allowing John to draw a deep, life-saving breath.

Maria, John’s wife, tearfully expressed her gratitude: "We were terrified when John started choking. Everything happened so fast, and there was no time to wait for an ambulance. Thank goodness we had the Willnice device at home. It literally saved his life right before our eyes. I cannot express how crucial it is to have such a device in households, especially for those with medical conditions affecting swallowing."
