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

In its NPR the CPSC examined the possibility of introducing additional requirements to bedside sleepers. For instance, these products would have to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets, or at the very least, the maximum height requirements for the rail that is lowered. The CPSC determined, however, that these requirements were not practical or effective in reducing the amount of instances where infants are trapped by a bedside rail and an adult bed.

A majority of the incidents mentioned in the NPR concerned multi-use bedside cot bed sleepers which can be converted to different types of furniture, like play yards or bassinets. A number of commenters suggested that the CPSC include in the proposed rule an alternative provision for multiuse bedside sleepers to enable them to meet the minimum side-height requirements for bassinets through the use of an attachment that is removable and can be permanently connected or removed when the product is not being used as an actual bassinet.

The CPSC is reviewing these comments and others received in response to the NPR on bedside sleeping. The Commission will consider these comments when it votes on the final rule, which is expected to be issued in the month of November 2021.
