The Consumer Product Safety Commission is considering banning adult portable bed rails, after 62 consumer groups submitted petitions alleging the product is responsible for deaths among the elderly and frail. According to the petitioners, the bed rails can entrap and asphyxiate the elderly, and the risk of falling from climbing over the rails may be greater than the risk of falling from not having any rails at all. The petitioners claimed 155 people died because of adult portable bed rails between 2003 and 2012, CPSC said. Comments are due by Aug. 5.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission will hold its one-day CPSC Safety Academy on Sept. 18 in Seattle, Wash. During the event, panels will discuss current commission regulatory requirements, including testing and certification, the mandatory toy standard, and compliance processes, CPSC said. One panel plans to cover the CPSC import process, it said. Requests to present in a panel discussion are due June 10. All other attendees should register by Sept. 9, CPSC said.
