Exhibit 99.1

Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc. Projects Fiscal 2009 Third Quarter Revenues In Line With Prior Year; EPS Expected To Be Slightly Below Prior Year; Cash Reserves Continue To Build

Q3 Conference Call Scheduled for February 5th

Irvington, NY, January 12, 2009--Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc. (NYSE-PBH) announced today that revenues for the fiscal 2009 third quarter, ended December 31, 2008, are expected to be essentially even with the prior year comparable quarter. These results are largely attributable to a slowing retail environment and trade inventory reductions.

Mark Pettie, Chairman and CEO, commented, “In today’s challenging economic climate, we are generally satisfied that our total revenues are expected to be even with last year. Importantly, most of our focus brands performed better than their respective categories during the quarter, resulting in market share gains for those franchises. Primarily due to the flat revenues and increased advertising investment behind key brands, we anticipate Earnings per Share to be $0.01 to $0.02 below the previous year’s quarter.

It is worthy to note that despite the economic circumstances affecting our revenue growth, the Company continues to generate healthy free cash flow. Our recent decision to enhance our liquidity position by building our cash reserves to approximately $30 million is proceeding as planned with over $27 million on hand at December 31.”
