On February 26th, 2026, a 15-month-old boy choked on a piece of popcorn at a family film night. His father used NovaCare and cleared the obstruction in seconds.
"We were watching a film together. My older son was eating popcorn and the little one grabbed a handful off the floor. He started choking immediately. My wife grabbed her phone to call 999 and I grabbed the NovaCare. One press and the popcorn came out. By the time my wife even dialled, it was already over. He was crying and breathing. The whole thing lasted maybe ten seconds. We didn't need to wait for an ambulance. We didn't need to panic. We had NovaCare. Press and done. That's it. My wife looked at me and said 'that's the best sixty quid we've ever spent.' She's right."
