The NPR released by the CPSC NPR included 24 incidents that were attributed to product problems, such as gaps between the bedside sleeper and the adult bed (12 incidents); fabric-sided enclosed openings (11 incidents) and consumer misassembly or missing parts (6 incidents); and miscellaneous other product-related issues (9 incidents). In its NPR, the CPSC looked into the possibility of additional requirements for bedside sleepers, such as the requirement that these beds satisfy the minimum side height requirement for bassinets, or at least meet the maximum height requirement for the side rail. The CPSC decided, however, that these requirements weren't practical or effective in reducing the number of instances in which infants are trapped by the bedside rail as well as an adult bed. Many of the reported incidents in the NPR included bedside sleepers with multiple uses that could be converted into other types of use, such as bassinets and play yards. A number of commenters suggested that the CPSC add a second provision to the proposed rule for multi-use bedside sleepers that would permit them to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets using a removable attachment. This attachment can be permanently connected or removed when the item is not being used as a bassinet for babies. The CPSC is reviewing these comments as well as other submissions received in response to the NPR on bedside sleeping. The Commission will be examining these comments when it decides on the final rule which is expected to be issued in November of 2021.
