The CPSC's NPR includes 24 incidents that are attributed to issues with the product, such as gaps between a bedside crib travel cot 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 considered the possibility of introducing additional requirements to bedside sleepers. For example, these products would have to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets or at the very least, the maximum height requirements for the lowered rail. The CPSC found, however that these requirements weren't feasible or effective in reducing the amount of instances where infants are trapped between the bedside rail as well as an adult bed.

The majority of the reported incidents in the NPR included multi-use bedside sleepers that can be converted to other types of use, such as play yards and bassinets. Many commenters suggested that CPSC include in the proposed rule an alternative option for multiuse bedside crib or cot sleepers to allow them to meet the minimum side-height requirements for bassinets through the use of an attachment that can be permanently connected or removed when the product is not being used as the bassinet.

The CPSC is considering these and other comments received in response to its NPR on bedside sleepers. The Commission will be examining these comments when it decides on the final rule, which is expected to be issued in November of 2021.
