Rescuers Leiby Zalman and Shmuel Rotenberg: "When we arrived at the house with an MDA ambulance that we were manning, we found an 8-year-old boy having difficulty breathing, after the parents said he swallowed a toy part.
""We provided him with initial medical treatment, and evacuated him for further treatment to Sheba Hospital in Tel Hashomer.""
The rescue organization notes that there have been a number of recent cases of babies and children swallowing parts of this game. The organization asks parents to pay more attention to games that can cause life-threatening choking.
