Crown Crafts Urges Stockholders to Vote “For” Deyo, Fox and Chestnut on the WHITE Proxy Card

Annual Meeting to be Held on August 14, 2007

Gonzales, Louisiana — With its August 14, 2007 annual meeting of stockholders rapidly approaching, Crown Crafts, Inc (NASDAQ-CM: CRWS) today urged stockholders to vote “FOR” the re-election of Messrs. Deyo, Fox and Chestnut on the WHITE proxy card.

As the Board noted in its recent letter to stockholders, under the guidance of current management and the Board, the Company has:

• increased stockholders’ equity by more than $50 million

• reduced its debt from $48 million in July 2001 to $5.8 million as of April 1, 2007

• extinguished lender warrants without extraordinary cost to the Company

• achieved six consecutive years of profitability

The Company urged stockholders to consider these accomplishments, among others that have been noted in recent weeks, and provide their support for Messrs. Deyo, Fox and Chestnut.

E. Randall Chestnut, the Company’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our Company has gone through some difficult times, but our employees, management and Board have joined together and worked to make us prosper and make the Company stronger. After five years of hard work, we have significantly streamlined our operations and last year we succeeded in restructuring our debt. Our Board is committed in its efforts to build on our past successes, and I urge stockholders to support our nominees for re-election.”

Each Crown Crafts stockholder’s vote is extremely important regardless of the number of shares owned. Crown Crafts stockholders should vote by telephone or by Internet by following the easy instructions on the WHITE proxy card, or by signing, dating and returning the WHITE proxy card promptly to ensure their shares are voted at the August 14th annual meeting.

Stockholders who previously voted on the Wynnefield Group’s gold proxy card have every legal right to change their vote by voting a WHITE proxy card TODAY—by telephone, by Internet or by expedited
