Governor Dukakis signs a law requiring restaurants with 25 or more seats to keep choke savers on hand. The measure, effective March 18, makes Massachusetts the second state after Rhode Island to adopt such a statute. Lawmakers cite about 70 annual choking deaths in state and warn brain damage can occur within four minutes and death within seven.
