Dear Mr.
Riedler:
We have
received your comment letter dated June 17, 2008, regarding the above-referenced
Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-139702)
of Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) filed with the Commission on
June 16, 2008 (the “Registration Statement”).
For your
convenience, we have included the Staff’s comments in italics before our
responses.
| Selling Stockholders, page 5 | |
| Comment 1. Please revise the disclosure to indicate the number of shares owned by each affiliated entity. | |
| Comment 2. Please identify the natural person with voting or investment control over the securities owned by each selling shareholder. | |
| Response: | |
| In conversations with the Staff, we were advised that we could address these comments in a 430B prospectus rather than filing an additional amendment to the Registration Statement. | |
| Accordingly, we propose to include the following disclosure requested in Comments 1 and 2 in a Rule 430B prospectus to be filed once the Registration Statement is declared effective: | |
| The number of shares of the Company’s common stock owned by each of the affiliated GTCR entities is as follows: |
|

| Comment 3. We note you have incorporated by reference your Form 10-K. We also note that the information requested by part III of the Form 10-K is incorporated by reference from the definitive proxy statement that has not yet been filed.

| Response: | |
| The Company’s definitive proxy statement was filed with the Commission on June 27, 2008. |
Should
you have any additional requests or questions, please do not hesitate to contact
me at the contact information listed above.
Note that
we have contemporaneously filed herewith a request for acceleration of the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement.
