If your child chokes on something do you report the product?

[Lorddenning1]

My 2 year old has choked this morning on some cereal, and after closer inspection they are quite hard and the perfect shape to block small children's air ways, even after sitting in milk for a while they are still hard. There is no warning on the box and I have checked with friends and they give their small children this too.
Do I report it to the supermarket or do I chalked this down to experience that all small children have the potential to choke on anything.
It was the scariest 2 mins of my life, watching my baby boy not be able to breath, I had to use the Heimlich maneuver around 5 times to get it out :( he then threw up and amongst the sick, the hard cereal was whole and was causing him to choke, what do I do now, I feel like I need to warn people, please be kind as I'm a bag of nerves now.

I'm shocked at how many people have had a go at you, after you've already suffered a huge shock. The choking incident must have been terrifying.

Glad your son is ok

I'm so glad he's OK! But I did tell you what the standard NHS 111 advice was, I went through it with dd earlier this year and I rang them because I wanted reassuring. They told me to take her in.

Are you?

Ignoring the potential medical implications only to be worried about who to report cereal to is the kid of thing to irritate people 🤷‍♀️

I was surprised they don't break down like krave does and turn to mush, I tipped them down the side of the washing up bowl expecting them to be slushed down the plug hole and they where still hard after a good 40 minutes sat in milk while I did the school run, I had to pick them out of the sink and they didn't break up at all

I did seek medical advice for him, my mother in law (retired ward sister) gave him the once over, and told me what to look out for, when i got to A&E the doctor repeated what she had said, and he made a joke about the NHS 111, having civilians using algorithms and they tell most people to go to A&E, im not exaggerating but there was around 5 children, all playing, mine included waiting to be seen after going through to 111, all were given no further treatment, and i know it is better to be safe than sorry, but I would not let my son suffer after saving him from choking, if i thought for 1 minute, there was something wrong with him i would of got in the car straight away.
He was literally running along the floor and sliding on his belly when we got there, the doctor said, if there was any damage at all, u wouldn't even be able to breath on it without him crying.
so again thank you to the people who showed concerned and confirmed to me that kids can just choke on anything, but i will obviously take more care in the future.
I did not ignore medical advice either, everyone else around me who saw him said he looked fine, my gut said he was fine, a nurse said he was fine, took him to the doctors and surprise surprise he was fine.
Seems like saving your baby from choking is not enough for MN these days.

@greyspottedgoose - I didnt realise how bad they were too, they can be quite hard and Sharpe too :(
