"I was panicking and felt like I was going to pass out."

Imagine enjoying a meal at your favorite restaurant when suddenly, you start choking. This nightmare became a reality for Ethan, a regular diner at a local restaurant in Little Italy, San Francisco. Luckily, the owner had a HandyHeimlich device around. Here’s his story:

A Customer's Story: Ethan's Close Call

"I was having dinner at my favorite spot. It was a great evening; everything was perfect until I started choking on a piece of food. I started turning blue, and no matter what I tried, I couldn't get it out and I started panicking. A friend leaped from his table and tried giving me the Heimlich maneuver. While he was doing that, one of the waiters ran over with the HandyHeimlich and, after placing it on my face, he yanked the obstruction out. I can't express my relief and gratitude!"

Why Restaurants Need the HandyHeimlich: Choking can happen to anyone, anytime.
