Ben Ish Chai (Behar n. 5) and Birkei Yosef 170:1 agree that if one is leaning, then the danger of choking would apply. Therefore on [[Pesach]] when we do lean, one should be careful not to talk because of the danger. However, Rav Chaim Palachi (Zechira LaChaim v. 2 p. 6) says that if one speaks of the exodus, the merit will protect him from any harm. Chazon Ovadia (v. 2 p. 105) agrees. </ref>

Rabbi Howard Jachter ([ http://koltorah.org/ravj/ZecherLemikdashKehillel.htm Zecher Lemikdash Kehillel]) states that Rav Chaim Soloveitchik refrained from engaging in conversation throughout [[the Seder]] meal out of concern for the opinion of the Rashbam Pesachim 120a “Yashnu Kulan” and Tosfot “Baacharona” that the main fulfillment of [[matza]] on seder night is the afikoman. According to this, talking about unrelated matters could constitute an interruption between the beracha and [[matza]] and the fulfillment of the mitzva. The Shelah subscribed to this approach as well. Rabbi Jachter adds that Rav Chaim did not consider the meal itself to be an unwarranted interruption between the recitation of the Beracha and the performance of the Mitzva because the meal constitutes an integral part of [[the Seder]] where we demonstrate our freedom by participating in a festive meal. This idea of Rav Soloveitchik, is also brought in “Exalted Evening” Haggada on Shulchan Orech and Harirei Kedem Chelek 2 Siman 78, that the meal itself constitutes an integral part of [[the Seder]] where we demonstrate our freedom by participating in a festive meal.
