Crown Crafts Clarifies Issues On Proxy Cards

GONZALES, La., July 30, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Crown Crafts, Inc. (Nasdaq:CRWS) announced today that the Company has sent a letter to its stockholders in conjunction with its annual meeting of stockholders to be held in Gonzales, Louisiana on August 14, 2007. The letter clarifies certain irregularities on the dissident Gold proxy card. The Company stressed the importance of this vote and asked stockholders to vote their shares on the WHITE proxy card that they will receive by mail. The body of the letter sent to stockholders is as follows:

           ONLY A VOTE ON THE WHITE PROXY CARD IS A VOTE
                   FOR MANAGEMENT AND YOUR BOARD
                                                       July 27, 2007

Dear Fellow Crown Crafts Stockholder:

As you know, Crown Crafts will hold its annual meeting of stockholders on August 14, 2007. At that meeting, stockholders will choose between a slate of directors nominated for re-election by your Board - William T. Deyo, Jr., Steven E. Fox and myself - and a slate of directors nominated by the Wynnefield Group.

Recently, I received a Gold proxy card that had been mailed on behalf of Wynnefield in connection with their solicitation. To my disbelief, the slate of directors listed on this Gold proxy card specifically included me by name, unlike the proxy card that Wynnefield had previously filed with the SEC. This was done without my consent in clear violation of the federal proxy rules.

What Wynnefield did creates confusion and could make you think that I supported their position and had lent my name, stature and reputation to the election of their slate of nominees, which could not be any further from the truth. I would never give permission for Wynnefield to associate me with any of their nominees.

I urge all stockholders to carefully review any proxy card before voting it and to vote only the WHITE proxy card sent to you by the Company. I urge you not to vote a Gold proxy card and to discard all Gold proxy cards that you may have received. A vote on a Gold proxy card, even though it may list me as a named nominee, is not a vote for management. Only your latest dated proxy will be counted, so if you have previously voted a Gold proxy card, believing it to be a vote for management, please vote again as soon as possible on the WHITE proxy card.

                       Thank you for your continued support.

                       E.  Randall Chestnut
                       Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer
