On November 13th, 2025, a 2-year-old girl choked on a piece of grape resulting in a total obstruction. Her mother was home alone with her when it happened. NovaCare cleared the obstruction on its first attempt.
"My daughter grabbed a grape off the table before I could cut it. Within seconds, she couldn't breathe — her face was turning red and she was completely silent. I was home alone, no one to help with the Heimlich. I grabbed the NovaCare and placed it over her mouth. One push of the button and the grape came right out. She started crying immediately and I just held her. If I didn't have the NovaCare sitting on my counter that day, I don't know what would have happened. Being alone in that moment was the scariest part — but NovaCare worked when I couldn't rely on anyone else. Thank you for giving parents like me a way to act fast."
