I fully support the Bunk Bed Petition submitted by Carol Pollack Nelson, Docet No. CPSC-2010-0071, that the Unites States Consumer Product Safety Commission initiate rulemaking to revise the Bunk Bed Standard to incorporate requirements for head and neck entrapment in spaces created by side structures that are provided with a bunk bed. I am especially concerned with the potential gap created between a ladder's horizontal rung and the mattress. I serve on the ASTM Voluntary Bunk Bed Subcommittee and I can assure you that this matter will be addressed at the next meeting. The petition identifies a danger that is easily correctable and should be addressed in the mandatory bunk bed standard.
