GONZALES, La., Sept. 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Crown Crafts, Inc.
(the "Company") (NASDAQ-CM: CRWS) today announced that a class
action lawsuit against the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Crown Crafts Infant Products, Inc. ("CCIP"), has been
dismissed.
The lawsuit, filed in March 2013,
alleged that CCIP's crib bumper products put children at risk of
suffocation or crib death and that the Company and CCIP concealed
and failed to disclose these purported risks through allegedly
false and misleading advertising and product packaging. The
complaint did not allege that any child had actually been harmed by
these products. The complaint alleged violations of various
consumer protection laws in California. On September 6, 2013, the federal court in
Los Angeles, California dismissed
the case without prejudice in its entirety.
