His shoulders began to bob up and down and when Amy asked if he was okay, he didn’t answer – when he continued to shake she realised something was seriously wrong. He swiftly got the lollipop off of the stick and held it up to show her, when he suddenly coughed. Her son was sat on her lap when he was offered a lollipop. It was just horrific and I was shaking all day – I'll never forgive myself for putting him or myself through that.”Īmy, who works as a public speaker, was getting her hair done at You Hair and Beauty Lounge in Thornton-Cleveleys. “It made me realise that a one-off could be fatal and awareness is needed for the dangers of these lollies.

She told the MEN: “Normally I’m so paranoid about things and I never give my children lollies, grapes or Maltesers, but I thought because 'he’s sat on my knee and he’s really behaving, one won’t hurt.'
