systems, legislation, and regulations to protect children from nonfood items, but no similar interventions exist for preventing food‐related choking in children or adults. Hard candy, gum, nuts. and hot dogs are just some of the high‐risk foods [3–6].

      Choking incidence rises again at age 60 years from concurrent conditions impairing chewing and coordinated swallowing (e.g., Alzheimer dementia, stroke, drinking alcohol, poor dentition, seizure, or Parkinson disease). A prior choking episode significantly increases the chances of future choking [2, 4, 7].

Reviewing the epidemiology of choking victims in these at‐risk groups provides valuable information. Japan found that 10% of fatal choking incidents came from mochi rice and 25% of those deaths occurred in a 3‐day window around the New Year [8]. Community education regarding this danger, coupled with first aid and CPR training for the community and caregivers, led to fewer choking deaths in subsequent years [9].
