The CPSC's NPR includes 24 incidents that are attributed to product-related issues like gaps between a bedside sleeper (adult bed) and the bedside sleeper (12 incidents) as well as enclosed openings made of fabric (11) and consumer assembly errors (6 incidents). In its NPR In its NPR, the CPSC looked into the possibility of additional requirements for sleepers in bed, such as the requirement that these products satisfy the minimum side height requirement for bassinets or at least meet the maximum height requirement for the lowered side rail. The CPSC found, however that these requirements were not practical or effective in reducing number of instances in which infants are trapped by the bedside rail and an adult bed. The majority of the reported incidents in the NPR included bedside sleepers with multiple uses that can be converted to other types of use, such as play yards and bassinets. Several commenters suggested the CPSC include a different clause to the proposed rule for bedside sleepers with multiple uses that would allow them to meet minimum side height requirements for bassinets by using an attachment that can be removed. Attachments can be permanently fixed or disconnected when the product's not being used as a bassinet for babies. The CPSC is reviewing these comments and others received in response to the NPR regarding bedside sleeping. The Commission will consider these comments when voting on the final rule which is expected to be released in November 2021.
