Re:
Church & Dwight Co., Inc
 
Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2006
 
File No. 001-10585
 
Dear Ms. Rocha:

Thank you for your prompt response to our letter dated November 2, 2007. As requested, we have provided the following related to your specific questions.

1.  
Elaborate on your description of competitive activity as used in the intangible asset disclosure.

In future filings, we will change our description from “competitive activity” to specifically state “lost distribution at key customer accounts”.  Please see the revised disclosure.

The Company recorded trademark impairment charges within selling, general and administrative expenses as follows:
 
Segment:
 
2007
 
 
2006
   
2005
 
Consumer Domestic
  $
XX
    $
11.0
    $
3.2
 
Consumer International
  $
XX
    $
3.3
    $
3.1
 
Total
  $
XX
    $
14.3
    $
6.3
 
 
The impairment charges were recorded as a result of lost distribution at key customer accounts causing lower forecasted sales and profitability.  The amount of the impairment charge was determined by comparing the estimated fair value of the asset to its carrying amount.  Fair value was estimated based on a “relief from royalty” discounted cash flow method.  Under this method, the owner of an intangible asset must determine the arm's length royalty that likely would have been charged if the owner had to license that asset from a third party. The Company determined the remaining carrying value of all tradenames was recoverable based upon the forecasted cash flows and profitability of the brands.

During the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company determined that certain tradenames should be re-characterized from indefinite lived to finite lived assets. This conclusion was based upon recurring impairment charges, continued competition in the marketplace, and the determination of a key customer to discontinue a product sold under one of these tradenames.   The carrying value of these tradenames as of December 31, 2006 was approximately $20.0 million, and is being amortized over lives ranging from 3 to 15 years beginning on January 1, 2007.  These lives were determined based upon the estimated future cash flows of these brands.

2.  
In respect to the guarantor financial information provided in the Company’s September 28, 2007 Form 10-Q, you asked that:

a.  
We review the requirements of Section 3-10 (I) (3), and provide draft condensed consolidated financial statements which include, in the parent column, the parent's equity income in the guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries. 
 
The Company has reviewed the requirement of Rule 3-10 (I) (3) and acknowledges the need to revise our presentation to include our 100% owned subsidiaries under the equity method of accounting.   Please refer to the revised presentation.
 
 
 

 
 
b.  
We explain the sales and cost of sales eliminations
 
In response to your question, we have modified our presentation to appropriately reflect the elimination of intercompany sales and profit in inventory.  We have also changed our allocation of income tax expense.  Please refer to the revised presentation.
 
It is still the Company’s intent to incorporate these changes on a prospective basis in its 2007 Form 10-K as it will be available in the near future.
 
Thank you for your consideration. If you have any further questions or comments, please address them to Steven J. Katz, Vice President, Controller at (609)-497-7120.
 
Sincerely,
 
CHURCH & DWIGHT CO., INC
