Death Made Apr 18, 2023, sent to the company Jun 27, 2023, published by CPSC Jul 12, 2023
The product, in the report: [REDACTED] candy is a gel-like sour candy dispensed from a tube (package dimensions 5.98 x 5.59 x 1.5 inches per Amazon). The tube contains a plastic ball at the dispensing end (dimensions not available). A photo taken by the clinical team of the plastic ball removed from the decedent’s airway is included from the medical records.
I examined a 7-year old girl with no known medical history, who was witnessed by family to choke while eating ’[REDACTED]’ Candy on 4/11/2023. EMS responded and by direct finger sweep and laryngoscopy, recovered a plastic ball (~2 cm) from the child’s upper airway. The ball was a component of the candy dispenser (described on the next page). The child suffered from anoxic brain injury, and was declared brain dead on 4/15/2023.
