The NPR of the CPSC NPR includes 24 incidents that are attributed to product issues, such as gaps between a bedside sleeper (adult bed) and the bedside sleeper (12 incidents), fabric-sided enclosed openings (11) and consumer assembly errors (6 incidents).

In its NPR, the CPSC examined the possibility of adding additional requirements for bedside sleepers, such as the requirement that these beds satisfy the minimum side height requirement for bassinets, or at the very least, meet the maximum height requirement for the side rail. The CPSC found, however that these requirements weren't feasible or effective in reducing number of instances in which infants are entrapped by a bedside rail and an adult bed.

Many of the incidents reported in the NPR concerned multi-use bedside sleepers which can be converted to different types of furniture, like play yards or bassinets. Several commenters suggested that the CPSC include in the proposed rule an alternative option for multi-use bedside beds to allow them to meet the minimum side-height requirements for bassinets through the use of a removable attachment that can be connected permanently or disconnected when the product is not being used as a bassinet.

The CPSC is examining these and other comments that were received in response to its NPR on bedside sleepers. The Commission will take into account these comments when deciding on the final rule, which is expected to be published in November 2021.
