“Our son was sitting in his high chair eating purée, and we gave him a wafer to help with teething, he had always tolerated them very well. Suddenly, he had a major crying episode, which sometimes happens when he’s tired. He started struggling to catch his breath, something that can happen during intense crying fits. But this time, while trying to breathe in, he inhaled the crushed wafer, which blocked his airway and caused him to choke. Back blows weren’t dislodging the blockage, so I told my husband to grab the LifeClear. He couldn’t breathe, but thankfully he remained conscious the entire time—probably because we reacted quickly. After a few attempts with LifeClear, the blockage came out, and he was able to breathe and cry again. The wafer was very sticky and crushed. I honestly don’t think back blows alone would’ve been enough to get it out!”

My daughter was choking. We couldn’t reach the object stuck in her throat, her face was turning redder and redder, she was gagging, and couldn’t breathe at all. It was 30 seconds of pure terror… until we remembered the LifeClear. We grabbed it and used it right away, and it worked! She’s perfectly fine now. I sent this message to all our family and friends to tell them to get one. It’s a real lifesaver. From now on, we’ll always keep it close by and easy to access in case of emergency. I can’t thank you enough, it’s the best purchase I’ve ever made.

My wife had a cardiac arrest in 2004, which left her with brain damage. She’s now disabled and in a wheelchair. She’s had several choking incidents, and LifeClear already saved her life once before, back in 2021. Last December, during dinner, she struggled to swallow a piece of cured ham. Because of her condition, she can’t always respond clearly, but she nodded when we asked if she was choking. We tried water, back blows, and the Heimlich maneuver, nothing worked. So we grabbed the LifeClear and tried using it while she was still seated, but we couldn’t get a proper seal with the mask. We laid her down on the floor, and after a few attempts, the device managed to dislodge the large piece of ham. She was able to breathe normally again. Thank you for this incredible tool. I honestly don’t know what we’d do without it.

Last night, while we were having dinner, my 11-year-old son suddenly stood up, he was choking and couldn’t breathe. My wife panicked and shouted, “Oh my God, he’s choking!” and started hitting him on the back. I tried too, even attempted the Heimlich maneuver, but nothing worked. In the panic, my wife yelled at me to do something, and that’s when I thought of LifeClear! I grabbed it from the counter, laid my son on the floor, and placed the device over his mouth. With just one pull, a 5 cm piece of steak came out. As soon as he started crying again, I knew he was safe. Thank God for this device! A few months earlier, we had practiced using it, so when it really mattered, we knew exactly what to do. Once things calmed down, I messaged all my loved ones, especially other parents, and told them to get one. I had purchased the kit with two devices, and during my research, I discovered that people with Parkinson’s are also at high risk of choking. So I gave one to my parents, since the disease affects my mother. I truly can’t thank you enough. Without LifeClear, we would have had to call emergency services and just wait… not knowing if he would make it. Now, we bring it with us everywhere, even when we travel.

My son was playing with marbles and put one in his mouth, it got stuck in his throat. My husband noticed he was having trouble breathing and tried to make him vomit, but the marble was completely lodged, completely blocking his airway for about 10 seconds. Thankfully, we had prepared LifeClear. He used it twice and on the second attempt, the marble popped out! Our son cried for a moment, then calmed down and stared curiously at the device that had just saved his life. He recovered immediately, and I truly can’t thank you enough for this product. I also really appreciate your replacement policy for hygiene reasons. From now on, this will be my go-to gift for every baby shower! Thank you so, so much!
