Item 7.01.         Regulation FD Disclosure.

On February 3, 2009, Spectrum Brands, Inc. (the "Company") announced that it and its United States subsidiaries (together with the Company, collectively, the "Debtors") had filed voluntary petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Texas (the "Bankruptcy Court") seeking reorganization relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code.  The Chapter 11 cases are being jointly administered by the court as Case No. 09-50456 (the "Bankruptcy Cases").

In connection with the Bankruptcy Cases, the Debtors, as previously announced, filed an amended plan of reorganization and related disclosure statement with the Bankruptcy Court, which disclosure statement included certain financial projections.  These financial projections were furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 15, 2009.  On May 12, 2009, the Debtors further revised the schedules titled "GAAP Reconciliation to Net Income" and "GAAP Reconciliation to Net Income (Monthly)" to the financial projections and submitted the updated schedules to the Bankruptcy Court.  The revisions do not reflect any change in assumptions about the strength of the Company's operations or the performance of any of its businesses.  Projected EBITDA remains unchanged from the previous disclosures.  The further updated schedules are furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

The financial projections were not prepared with a view toward compliance with published guidelines of the Securities and Exchange Commission or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial information, including, without limitation, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position 90-7, Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code.  Unless otherwise noted, the financial projections were not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
