HENDERSONVILLE, N.C. (AP) - In a story Nov. 24 about a baby choking during Thanksgiving dinner, The Associated Press reported erroneously that a bystander performed the Heimlich maneuver on the choking baby. The bystander performed back blows on the baby, not the Heimlich maneuver.
A corrected version of the story is below:
HENDERSONVILLE, N.C. (AP) - A baby choking on mashed potatoes at a restaurant during Thanksgiving was saved by a quick-acting patron who performed first aid.
News outlets report that Hannah Jarvis and her 7-month-old daughter, Calli, were celebrating Thanksgiving at the Golden Corral restaurant when the baby started choking.
Restaurant patron Debra Rouse performed back blows on the baby, who started breathing again.
Jarvis said her daughter was later treated at an emergency room and is doing fine.
