ITEM 1.  SECURITY AND ISSUER.

The Schedule 13D relating to shares of Class A Common Stock (the "Shares"), 
and Shares underlying warrants (the "Warrants") for the purchase of Shares, 
of Waxman Industries, Inc. (the "Company"), originally filed on April 23, 1996
by the signatories hereto, as amended by an Amendment No. 1 filed on November
20, 1998, and Amendment No. 2 filed on November 25, 1998, is hereby amended by
this Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D as follows:  


ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER. 

      Item 5(a) is hereby deleted and the following inserted in its place:

                  (a)   The approximate aggregate percentage of Shares
reported beneficially owned by each person herein is based on 9,909,026 Shares
outstanding as of November 3, 1998, as reflected in the Form 10Q of the 
Company for the period ending September 30, 1998.  For purposes of calculating 
the percentages herein, the number of Shares underlying the Warrants 
beneficially owned by the applicable member of the Group have been added 
to the number of Shares outstanding as though such Warrants had been exercised.

                  As of the date hereof:

            (i) Monarch owns directly no Shares. By reason of the 
provisions of Rule 13d-3 of the Act, Monarch may be deemed to 
own beneficially 297,408 Shares, including the 203,076 Shares 
owned directly by Monarch Capital, Ltd. (constituting approximately 
3.0% and 2.0% of the Shares outstanding, respectively).

            (ii)  LP owns directly 197,592 Shares, 
constituting approximately 1.9% of the Shares outstanding.

            (iii)  GP owns directly no Shares. By reason of the 
provisions of Rule 13d-3 of the Act, GP may be deemed to own
beneficially 197,592 Shares, constituting approximately 1.9% of the 
shares outstanding.

            (iv)     Mr. Greenblatt owns directly no Shares.  
Mr. Greenblatt, by reason of Rule 13d-3 of the Act, may be deemed to own 
beneficially the Shares owned by each of Monarch and LP above (495,000 Shares, 
representing 4.97% of the shares outstanding).

     On December 4, 1998 Mr. Greenblatt ceased to be the beneficial owner
of more than five percent of the Shares outstanding.  The reporting persons
named herein shall no longer be deemed to constitute a group having
beneficial ownership of more than five percent of the Shares outstanding
pursuant to Rule 13d-5(b)(1) of the Act.

            (c)   The trading dates, number of Shares purchased or sold 
and price per share (excluding commissions) for all transactions in the Shares
from the date of the most recent filing on November 25, 1998 until December 4,
1998 by (i) Monarch on behalf of discretionary accounts other than LP 
and (ii) LP are set forth on Schedules A and B respectively.  All such 
transactions were effected through the New York Stock Exchange.  During 
such period, none of the individuals named herein entered into any 
transactions in the Shares.

belief, the undersigned certify that the information set forth in this
