The CPSC's NPR includes 24 incidents that are attributed to issues with the product like gaps between a bedside cot newborn sleeper (adult bed) and the bedside sleeper (12 incidents) as well as enclosed openings made of fabric (11) and consumer assembly errors (6 incidents).

In its NPR the CPSC looked into the possibility of adding more requirements to bedside sleepers. For example they would need to meet the minimum height requirements for bassinets, or at a minimum, the maximum height requirements for the rails that are lowered. The CPSC decided, however, that these requirements weren't efficient or effective in reducing the amount of instances where infants are entrapped by the bedside rail and an adult bed.

A majority of the incidents mentioned in the NPR concerned multi-use bedside sleepers that can be transformed into different types of furniture, like bassinets or play yards. Several commenters suggested the CPSC add a second option to the proposed rule for multi-use bedside sleepers that would permit them to meet minimum side height requirements for bassinets using an attachment that can be removed. This attachment can be permanently attached or disconnected when the product's not being used as a baby bassinet.

The CPSC is currently examining these and other comments received in response to its NPR on bedside cot wooden sleepers. The Commission will take into account these comments when deciding on the final rule which is expected to come out in November 2021.
