Thanks for all the great info. I've been contacting companies whose fabric I have stocked up to check on compliance and have gotten the following info so far.
Springs Industries:
Thank you for your inquiry regarding the testing of our fabrics for compliance with the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act. We do test our fabrics to ensure they fall within the guidelines of this act. All of our direct customers have access to our website portal, where the testing certificates are stored. We are looking into setting up a portal for the end users of our products to be able to access the certificates directly as well, but that is not complete.

If you would like me to send you the certificate applicable to the fabric you have, please provide out item number and I can e-mail you a pdf format of the certificate.
We thank you for your inquiry and your business. Should you have any other questions, please feel free to e-mail me.
Regards,
Jill Neece

Andover/Makower UK:
Thank you very much for your inquiry concerning CPSIA Compliance for fabrics sold by Andover Fabrics Inc, Makower UK. Our company prints our fabrics in the finest printing mills that exist and none of our fabrics are printed in China. All of our mills test regularly, after each printing run, to be sure that each one meets not only the correct specifications for all physical properties for performance of the fabric, but to be sure that they are all in compliance with CPSIA. Each one of our mills has issued the following clause, and subsequent testing on the fabric proves the clause to be true and accurate.
“We hereby certify that there are not lead and Phtalates used in any part of the production process on all our fabrics and they are all lead free and they do not contain any Phtalates”
When you use fabrics produced by Andover Fabrics Inc. and Makower UK, you can proceed with confidence knowing that the fabrics are of the highest level and in full compliance with CPSIA.
Once again thank you for your concern and if there is anything else that you require please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
