Bunk Beds; Request for Additional Comment
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (``CPSC'' or ``Commission'') previously proposed a rule that would mandate bunk bed performance requirements to reduce the hazard of children being entrapped in the beds' structures or becoming wedged between a bed and a wall. 64 FR 10245 (March 3, 1999). After the original proposal, discussions at meetings of a voluntary standards group (ASTM) indicated that requirements in addition to those proposed are needed to adequately address fatalities due to entrapment of children's necks in the end structures of bunk beds. Such requirements are proposed in this notice, and would be in addition to the requirements previously proposed. The Commission solicits written and oral comments from interested persons. Comments must be limited to issues raised by the additional requirements in this notice.
