**COMMISSION**

**[Docket No. CPSC–2013–0022]**

**Petition Requesting a Ban or Standard**
**on Adult Portable Bed Rails**

**AGENCY :**  Consumer Product Safety

Commission.

**ACTION :**  Notice.

**SUMMARY :**  The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC or Commission) has received two requests, asking that the Commission initiate proceedings under
section 8 of the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA) to determine that adult portable bed rails pose an unreasonable risk of injury and initiate related rulemaking under section 9 of the CPSA. Because both requests ask for rulemaking concerning the same product, CPSC is considering the requests as a single petition (CP13–1).
The Commission invites written comments concerning the petition.

**DATES :**  The Office of the Secretary must receive comments on the petition by August 5, 2013.

**ADDRESSES :**  You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CPSC–2013– 0022, by any of the following methods:

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  The Commission received two requests to initiate proceedings under section 8 of the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA) to determine that adult portable bed rails pose an unreasonable risk of injury and initiate related rulemaking
under section 9 of the CPSA. See 15 U.S.C. 2057 and 2058. Gloria Black, the Consumer Federation of America, and 60 other organizations (Consumer Group) made one request; Public Citizen made the other request (collectively referred to as petitioners). The CPSC has docketed the requests as a single petition.

Petitioners assert that adult portable bed rails currently on the market are responsible for many injuries and deaths among users, particularly the elderly and frail. Petitioners state that many of these deaths result from asphyxiation caused by entrapment within openings of the rail or between
the rail and the mattress or bed frame. In addition, petitioners claim that individuals who attempt to climb over bed rails may be at greater risk of injury or death than they would be if no rail were used at all. In support of their request, petitioners cite a CPSC memorandum dated October 11, 2012,
‘‘Adult Portable Bed Rail-Related Deaths, Injuries, and Potential Injuries: January 2003 to September 2012.’’ According to petitioners, the CPSC’s
data showed that there were 155 fatalities, of which 129 involved victims ages 60 years and over; most of the fatalities related to rail entrapment. In addition, petitioners state that the CPSC found an estimated 36,900 adult portable bed rail-related injuries that were treated in U.S. hospital emergency departments from January 2003 to
December 2011.

Petitioners request that the CPSC initiate proceedings under section 8 of
the CPSA that would ban all adult portable bed rails because, they assert, the product presents an unreasonable risk of injury and no feasible consumer product safety standard would adequately protect the public from these products. Public Citizen contends that no mandatory standard or warnings could be developed that would adequately protect against the hazards presented by adult portable bed rails. The Consumer Group, however, states that if the CPSC does not pursue a ban,
the Commission should initiate a rulemaking to promulgate mandatory standards under section 9 of the CPSA,
to reduce the unreasonable risk of asphyxiation and the entrapment hazards posed by adult portable bed rails, and to include warning labels in the standards. The Consumer Group also requests action under section 27(e) of the CPSA to require manufacturers of adult portable bed rails to provide performance and technical data regarding the safety of their products.

In addition, petitioners request a public recall notice and refund for all adult portable bed rails under section 15 of the CPSA. However, the Commission may docket as petitions only requests
for action that the Commission is authorized to take through the issuance, amendment, or revocation of rules. 16 CFR 1051.2(a). Accordingly, the recall and refund requested by petitioners are outside the scope of a rulemaking proceeding and will be forwarded to the CPSC Office of Compliance and Field Operations for review.
