                JARDEN CORPORATION ANNOUNCES 3-FOR-2 STOCK SPLIT
               - AFTER APPROVAL OF ALL ANNUAL MEETING PROPOSALS -

     RYE, NY - JUNE 9, 2005 - JARDEN CORPORATION (NYSE:JAH) today announced that
its Board of Directors approved a 3-for-2 stock split of its outstanding shares
of common stock. Stockholders of record at the close of business on June 20,
2005 will receive one additional share of Jarden common stock for every two
shares of Jarden common stock owned on that date. The additional shares are
expected to be distributed on or about July 11, 2005. As a result of the stock
split, and after taking into consideration the conversion of Series C Preferred
Stock, the number of outstanding shares of common stock will increase to
approximately 45.3 million from approximately 30.2 million.

     In addition, the Company announced that stockholders approved all six
proposals put forth at this year's Annual Meeting of Stockholders, including the
re-election of Douglas W. Huemme, Robert L. Wood, and Irwin D. Simon to serve on
the Board of Directors for a term of three years; the adoption of the amended
and restated 2003 stock incentive plan; the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as
the Company's independent registered public accounting firm; an increase in
authorized common stock from 50,000,000 to 150,000,000; the conversion of the
Series C Preferred Stock into Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock; and, an
amendment to the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation to amend the
definition of "Related Party."
