On February 19th, 2026, a 20-month-old girl choked on a piece of apple at her grandparents’ house. Her grandfather was alone with her. He used NovaCare and cleared the airway on the first press.
"I peeled the apple and cut it into slices for her. She bit off a chunk and it got stuck. She couldn’t breathe. I’m 71 with a bad back. My wife bought the NovaCare because she knew we babysit the grandkids and we’re not young anymore. I grabbed it from the kitchen drawer and pressed. The apple came out. That was it. She started screaming and I sat down on the floor next to her. When you’re 71 and alone with a grandchild who can’t breathe, you need something simple. Something anyone can use. You pick it up, you press, and it works. That’s NovaCare. Nothing else out there is that simple."
