I've choked on a bay leaf before so I don't cook with them anymore.

This is one of the reasons why most recipes say to remove bay leaves before serving. They remain quite rigid and pose a threat for choking and for scratching the esophagus/perforating your digestive tract.

But I guess it's not cost-effective to remove them from big batches.
