Re:	Jarden Corporation
	Registration Statement on Form S-3

Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to Jarden Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) pertaining to the registration by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”), to be offered and sold by the Company and/or selling stockholders. The Shares may be issued and sold or delivered from time to time as set forth in the Registration Statement, any amendment thereto, the prospectus contained therein (the “Prospectus”) and supplements to the Prospectus (the “Prospectus Supplements”) and pursuant to Rule 415 of the General Rules and Regulations promulgated under the Securities Act (the “Securities Act Rules”).

In our capacity as special counsel to the Company in connection with the matters referred to above, we have examined copies of the following: (i) the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended to date and currently in effect (the “Restated Certificate”), (ii) the Amended and Restated By-laws of the Company, as amended to date and currently in effect (the “By-laws”), and records of certain of the Company’s corporate proceedings as reflected in its minute books; and (iii) the Registration Statement, in the form it is to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on the date hereof. We have also examined such other documents, papers, authorities and statutes as we have deemed necessary to form the basis of the opinions hereinafter set forth.

In our examination, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such documents. As to certain facts material to this opinion, we have relied upon oral or written statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and certificates of public officials, and such other documents and information as we have deemed necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinions expressed below. We have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine the accuracy of any such facts.

Subject to the limitations stated in this letter, we are of the opinion that, when (i) the Registration Statement, as finally amended (including all necessary post-effective amendments), has become effective under the Securities Act; (ii) an appropriate Prospectus Supplement with respect to the Shares has been prepared, delivered and filed in compliance with the Securities Act and the applicable Securities Act Rules; (iii) if the Shares are to be sold pursuant to a firm commitment underwritten offering, the underwriting agreement with respect to the Shares has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and the other parties thereto; (iv) the Board of Directors of the Company, including any appropriate committee appointed thereby, and appropriate officers of the Company have taken all necessary corporate action to approve the issuance of the Shares and related matters; (v) the issuance and sale of the Shares does not violate any applicable law or the Restated Certificate or the By-Laws or result in a default under or breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon the Company and comply with any requirement or restriction imposed by any court or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company; and (vi) the due issuance and delivery of the Shares, upon payment of adequate consideration therefor (not less than the par value of the Shares) in accordance with the Registration Statement and Prospectus Supplement, the Shares when issued will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and to the reference to us under the heading “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus, which forms a part thereof. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the Securities Act Rules.

We are qualified to practice law in the State of New York and do not purport to be experts on any law other than the laws of the State of New York, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the Federal law of the United States.

The opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement or the prospectus which forms a part thereof, other than as to the validity of the Shares. This opinion letter is limited to the specific legal matters expressly set forth herein and is limited to present statutes, regulations and administrative and judicial interpretations.

Very truly yours,

KANE KESSLER, P.C.
