The CPSC's NPR included 24 incidents that were attributed to product problems that included gaps between the bedside sleeper and the adult bed (12 incidents) and enclosed openings with fabric sides (11 incidents) and consumer misassembly or missing parts (6 incidents) and other miscellaneous product-related issues (9 incidents). In its NPR, the CPSC considered the possibility of adding additional requirements for bedside sleepers, such as the requirement that they satisfy the minimum side height requirement for bassinets or at a minimum, meet the maximum height requirement for the lowered side rail. However the CPSC determined that these requirements are not practical or effective in reducing the amount of instances in which infants were entrapped between a bedside sleeper and an adult bed. Many of the reported incidents in the NPR included multi-use bedside sleepers which can be converted to other modes such as play yards and bassinets. A number of commenters suggested that the CPSC include in the proposed rule an alternative provision for multi-use bedside sleepers that would allow them to meet the minimum side-height requirements for bassinets by using a removable attachment that can be connected permanently or disconnected when the product is not being used as the bassinet. The CPSC is currently examining these and other comments that were received in response to its NPR regarding bedside sleepers. The Commission will take into account these comments when it votes on the final rule which is expected to come out in November 2021.
