BECHASDEI HASHEM: Lakewood Boy Who Choked on Candy Ball is Conscious, Eating and Talking

In a positive turn of events, Dovid Aryeh Lang, the almost eight-year-old boy from Lakewood, NJ who choked on a candy toy on Thursday has made a miraculous recovery.

After being rushed to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune in a life-threatening condition, the young boy underwent emergency surgery.

Fortunately, on Shabbos, he regained consciousness, marking a significant milestone in his recovery journey.

Currently, Dovid Aryeh is not only awake, but also alert, actively engaging in conversation, and enjoying meals.

The boy’s ability to eat and communicate is an encouraging sign, indicating positive neurological functioning and overall improvement in his condition.

As the days pass, the family eagerly anticipates Dovid Aryeh’s return home, which is expected to happen within the next day or two.

This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of vigilance and safety precautions, especially when it comes to children and potentially hazardous items.

The incident involving the now-recalled candy toy left Dovid Aryeh without oxygen for several critical minutes, requiring paramedics to intervene and take immediate action by clearing his airways.

Following a distressing incident involving Dovid Aryeh ben Bracha, a 7-year-old boy from Lakewood, NJ the manufacturer responsible for the candy he choked on has issued a product recall in response to the incident.

As Matzav.com first reported, Dovid Aryeh was consuming the candy when the internal white ball unexpectedly detached, and he accidentally swallowed it, causing him to choke.

Despite the efforts of Hatzolah paramedics, the ball could not be extricated from his throat.

Consequently, they had to carefully maneuver it further down to ensure his airway was cleared before transporting him to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune, NJ

Upon examination at the hospital, a CAT scan revealed that the detached ball had entered Dovid Aryeh’s lungs, prompting emergency surgery to extract it.

In a communiqué dispatched to all retailers stocking Roller Dipper and Roller Ball candies, the manufacturer acknowledged the existence of a safety concern associated with their products. The message emphasized the need for immediate action, urging storeowners to promptly remove these items from their shelves and arrange for their return during a subsequent delivery, assuring them of full credit reimbursement.

The aim is to prevent any further incidents that may endanger consumers, particularly children like Dovid Aryeh.
