The CPSC's NPR includes 24 incidents that are attributed to product issues like gaps between the bedside sleeper (adult bed) and the bedside sleeper (12 incidents), fabric-sided enclosed openings (11) and consumer disassembly (6 incidents). In its NPR the CPSC considered the possibility of adding additional requirements to bedside sleepers. For example, these products would have to meet the minimum height requirements for bassinets or at the very least, the maximum height requirements for the lowered rail. However, the CPSC concluded that such requirements are not practical or effective in reducing the number of incidents in which infants were entrapped between a bedside sleeper 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 bassinets and play yards. Many commenters suggested that the CPSC add an alternative clause to the proposed rule for multi-use bedside sleepers that would permit them to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets by using an attachment that is removable. The attachment can be permanently connected or removed when the product is not being used as a baby bassinet. The CPSC is currently examining these and other comments received in response to its NPR regarding bedside sleepers. The Commission will consider these comments when voting on the final rule, which is expected to be released in November 2021.
