   (1)  On May 16, 2006, Newell Rubbermaid Inc. (the "Registrant") filed
        a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-134176) to
        register 17,436,840 shares of Common Stock issuable under the
        Newell Rubbermaid Inc. 2003 Stock Plan (as amended and restated
        effective February 8, 2006) (the "Plan").  No shares included in
        that Registration Statement have been offered or sold.  Concurrent
        with this filing, and in order to avoid any question as to the
        Registrant's ability to use a Form S-8 at the time of the original
        filing, the Registrant is filing a post-effective amendment to the
        Registration Statement to deregister all of the 17,436,840 shares.
        The previously paid registration fee relating to these shares of
        $51,065.36 is being carried over and used to offset the filing
        fee for this Registration Statement.  Because the amount of the
        carried-over fee exceeds the filing fee for this Registration
        Statement, no filing fee is being paid at this time.

   (2)  Estimated on the basis of $24.66 per share, the average of the
        high and low sales prices of the Common Stock as reported on the
        New York Stock Exchange on June 13, 2006.  (See Rules 457(c) and
        457(h) of the Securities Act of 1933.)

   (2)  Pursuant to Rule 416 of the Securities Act of 1933, this
        Registration Statement shall also cover any additional shares of
        Common Stock which become issuable under the Plan pursuant to
        this Registration Statement by reason of any stock dividend,
        stock split, recapitalization or any other similar transaction
        effected without the receipt of consideration which results in an
        increase in the number of the Registrant's outstanding shares of
        Common Stock.

        The Exhibits filed herewith are set forth on the Exhibit Index
   filed as part of this Registration Statement.


                                      3



   ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS

        The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

        (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
   being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

             (i)  To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3)
        of the Securities Act of 1933;

             (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
        arising after the effective date of the registration statement
        (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
        individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
        in the information set forth in the registration statement; and

             (iii) To include any material information with respect to
        the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
        registration statement or any material change to such information
        in the registration statement;

   PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that paragraphs (i) and (ii) do not apply if the
   information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
   those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or
   furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13
   or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated
   by reference in the registration statement.

        (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
   Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be
   deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
   offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
   shall be deemed to be the initial BONA FIDE offering thereof.

        (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
   amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold
   at the termination of the offering.

        The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes
   of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
   filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
   Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where
   applicable, each filing of the Plan's annual report pursuant to
   Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is
   incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be
   deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
   offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
   shall be deemed to be the initial BONA FIDE offering thereof.

        Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
   Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
   controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
   provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the

                                      4



   opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification
   is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
   unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against
   such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
   incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
   Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
   proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
   person in connection with the securities being registered, the
   Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has
   been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
   appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by
   it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be
   governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

             ----------------------------------------------------

   Ladies and Gentlemen:

        We have acted as counsel to Newell Rubbermaid Inc., a Delaware
   corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the Company's filing
   of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement")
   covering 17,436,840 shares of the Company's common stock, par value
   $1.00 per share, and the related Purchase Rights associated therewith
   (the "Common Stock"), issuable under the Newell Rubbermaid Inc. 2003
   Stock Plan (As Amended and Restated Effective February 8, 2006) (the
   "Plan").

        In this connection we have made such investigation and have
   examined such documents as we have deemed necessary in order to enable
   us to render the opinion contained herein.
