DOYLESTOWN, PA--(Marketwire - February 08, 2011) -

ProPhase Labs, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRPH), makers of the Cold-EEZE brand of cold remedies, announced today that it is launching a Facebook personality quiz to benefit the American Heart Association (AHA). For each Facebook fan who takes the “What’s Your Cold-EEZE Flavor?” personality quiz, Cold-EEZE will donate $1 to the AHA (up to $2,500).

The quiz launch date is scheduled to coincide with the Hallmark Channel February 8th, 6pm and February 14th 4am broadcasts of Cold-EEZE Skate for the Heart. Skate for the Heart is a Cold-EEZE-sponsored skating show that also benefits the American Heart Association.

The show, which features a dozen world-class figure skaters as well as American Idols Ruben Studdard and David Archuleta, is dedicated to raising awareness about heart health and the American Heart Association. (http://www.heart.org/) “We are so proud to support these world-class skaters and the critical heart health cause,” said Ted Karkus, CEO of ProPhase Labs.

The “What’s Your Cold-EEZE Flavor?” Quiz, which will be posted on Cold-EEZE’s Facebook fan page (Facebook.com/ColdEEZE) and be available until February 18th, asks its respondents five short questions to determine which of the seven Cold-EEZE flavor profiles their personality matches best: Cherry, Honey Lemon, Strawberries & Cream, Tropical Orange, Lemon Lime, Mint Frost and Sugar Free Pomegranate. The results of the quiz can be posted on users’ profiles and users can also invite their friends to participate.
