CARTER’S, INC. CLARIFIES CONFERENCE CALL REMARK

The Company understands that there may have been confusion as to the meaning of a remark made on its quarterly earnings call held on Wednesday, April 23, 2008.  On that call, while discussing its wholesale model, the Company stated that it was "improving product value by lowering consumer prices 8% to 10% at Carter's and 10% to 15% at OshKosh."  These stated reductions were intended as comparisons of the initial retail prices recommended to its wholesale customers for certain products in its Fall 2008 product lines, to the initial retail prices recommended for Fall 2007.  This remark was not intended as a comparison of prices charged by Carter’s to its wholesale customers.
 
The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section.  The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
