On November 25th, 2025, a 14-month-old boy choked on a blueberry resulting in a complete airway obstruction. His mother was home alone. She used NovaCare and cleared the obstruction in seconds.
"I was cutting up fruit for his snack and turned around for just a second. When I looked back, he had grabbed a whole blueberry and his lips were already turning blue. I was alone ā my husband was at work and the nearest neighbor is a five-minute drive. I didnāt even think. I grabbed the NovaCare off the counter and placed it over his mouth. One press and the blueberry came right out. He gasped and started screaming. The whole thing was over in less than ten seconds. I was alone with my baby and there was no one to call, no one to help. NovaCare was the only thing standing between my son and a tragedy. I will never live in a house without one."
