| 00-25279 | Portable Bed Rails; Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking; Request for Comments and Information | Proposed Rule | The Commission has reason to believe that certain portable bed rails may present an unreasonable risk of injury. A portable bed rail is a device intended to be installed on an adult bed to prevent a child from falling out of the bed. At least some bed rails are constructed in a manner that children can become entrapped between the portable bed rail and the bed. This entrapment can result in serious injury or death. This advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPR) initiates a rulemaking proceeding that could result in a rule banning portable bed rails that present an unreasonable risk of injury. This proceeding is commenced under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act. The Commission solicits written comments concerning the risks of injury associated with portable bed rails, the regulatory alternatives discussed in this notice, other possible ways to address these risks, and the economic impacts of the various regulatory alternatives. The Commission also invites interested persons to submit an existing standard, or a statement of intent to modify or develop a voluntary standard, to address the risk of injury described in this notice. | 2000-10-03 | 2000 | 10 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2000/10/03/00-25279/portable-bed-rails-advance-notice-of-proposed-rulemaking-request-for-comments-and-information | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-10-03/pdf/00-25279.pdf | Consumer Product Safety Commission | 84 | The Commission has reason to believe that certain portable bed rails may present an unreasonable risk of injury.
