The CPSC's NPR includes 24 incidents that are attributed to product-related issues that include gaps between a bedside cot co sleeper sleeper (adult bed) and the bedside sleeper cot sleeper (12 incidents), fabric-sided enclosed openings (11) and consumer disassembly (6 incidents).

In its NPR the CPSC looked into the possibility of adding more requirements to small bedside cot sleepers. For example the products would need to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets or at least the maximum height requirements for the rails that are lowered. However, the CPSC determined that these requirements would not be efficient or feasible to reduce the number of incidents where infants were trapped between the bedside sleeper and an adult bed.

A majority of the incidents reported in the NPR involved multiuse bedside sleepers which can be converted to different modes like play yards and bassinets. A number of commenters suggested that the CPSC include in the proposed rule a different provision for multiuse bedside sleepers to enable them to meet the minimum side-height requirement of bassinets using an attachment that can be permanently connected or disconnected when the product is not being used as an actual bassinet.

The CPSC is currently reviewing these comments and others received in response to the NPR on bedside sleeping. The Commission will take into account these comments when deciding on the final rule that is expected to come out in November 2021.
