‘Please Always Read the Label’ — Dad Warns Parents After Toddler Chokes on Popular Snack

“At this moment, I thought my little girl was going to die in my arms.”

That’s when Justin did the only other thing he could think to do to get his baby girl breathing again.

“I rammed my finger into her mouth and down her throat and was able to squish the cheesie enough that the next thing I heard was the sweetest sound in the world…her crying.”

Once the cheesie became dislodged, Justin was able to scoop it out of her mouth, before finally taking a deep breath of his own. He says it was the longest and scariest minute of his life.

In the time that followed, Justin was confused as to why the cheesies were an issue for Annabell today, but hadn’t been just days before.

“After scanning the can my mom found this ‘warning’ in tiny letters on their side to throw contents out after 5 days of breaking the seal.”

“I opened a new container and I could not believe the difference. The ones in the can she choked on I can only describe to be like a foam ear plug. I could squish it but it would expand back out and would not break apart. The ones in the new can crumbled with ease.”

Justin says his post was not at all a bashing of Gerber, who manufactured the cheesies Annabelle choked on, but rather to raise awareness among parents to read the labels carefully.
