When asked about light sales of the company's "Gold Bond" products this past February, Guerry explained that warm weather was to blame for the decline in sales and he's already seeing a bounce back in sales.

Cramer still likes the stock, but recommends waiting for Chattem to pull back 10% before buying any.
