I spoke with a company today that would test fabrics, either in person, or through the mail. Currently, we could show up with a van full of fabric swatches and pay their employee their hourly rate to test.
He says testing could be as quick as 10 sec…
I also recently received an email concerning snaps I purchased from Snap Source - they are in the clear.
It's my understanding that fabric that is painted, the paint needs to be tested, so I am assuming paint = silkscreen.

- Your interest in the CPSIA (public)
- I make and sell children's clothes and accessories on a small small scale now, but am interested in expanding, so professionally, this legislation will impede my aspirations. Personally, I am shaken by the far-reaching consequences that are possible with the law as it stands.

Help Support the new CPSIA Documentary!
A CPSIA documentary is in the works. Since the mainstream media seems to think this is not worthy of their precious air time, this is another great way to get the word out and put our leaders on the "hot seat" to explain themselves. We know that the impact of this travesty is widespread. Now we just need to collect our pennies together and help support the documentary. We have over 700 members here. Imagine if everyone gave just $20....(that would be $14,000 and good chunk of the cost). Here is a quick way to make a donation.
This is a donation to support the making of a CPSIA documentary (see link for details). CPSIA-Central is not affiliated with this organization, and is offering this space for the paypal button in support of the documentary.
