Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2015
Basis of Presentation	*Basis of Presentation* The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Jarden Corporation and its subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to as the “Company” or “Jarden”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, normal, recurring and necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2014 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. Certain reclassifications have been made in the Company’s financial statements of the prior year to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on previously reported net income.
Stock Split	*Stock Split* On November 24, 2014, the Company consummated a 3-for-2 stock split in the form of a stock dividend of one additional share of common stock for every two shares of common stock. The Company retained the current par value of $0.01 per share for all shares of common stock. All references to the number of shares outstanding, issued shares, per share amounts and restricted stock and stock option data of the Company’s shares of common stock have been restated to reflect the effect of the stock split for all periods presented in the Company’s accompanying consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto.
Supplemental Information	*Supplemental Information* Stock-based compensation costs, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”), were $2.3 and $6.1 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $41.2 and $41.0 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Interest expense is net of interest income of $0.5 and $1.4 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $1.2 and $2.8, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Venezuela Operations	*Venezuela Operations* Prior to March 31, 2015, the Company included the results of its Venezuelan operations in the consolidated financial statements using the consolidation method of accounting. Venezuelan exchange control regulations have become increasingly restrictive and have resulted in an other-than-temporary lack of exchangeability between the Venezuelan bolivar and U.S. dollar, and have restricted our Venezuelan operations’ ability to pay obligations denominated in U.S. dollars, as well as pay dividends. These exchange regulations, combined with certain Venezuelan regulations, limit the Company’s ability to rationalize its manufacturing platform to a level that would allow the Company to maintain a sustainable production level that is commensurate with the declining demand resulting from the deteriorating macroeconomic conditions in Venezuela. Furthermore, the Venezuelan government imposes price restrictions that prohibit the Company from pricing its products at acceptable levels. As such, effective March 31, 2015, the Company began reporting the results of its Venezuelan operations using the cost method of accounting. As a result, during the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded charges of $60.6 related to the deconsolidation of the Company’s subsidiaries operating in Venezuela (the “Venezuela-related charges”) that include in part, charges for the remeasurement of net monetary assets and the impairment of long-lived assets (discussed hereafter). The Venezuela-related charges are recorded in SG&A. On February 10, 2015, the Venezuelan government established a new foreign exchange system, the Marginal Currency System (“SIMADI”). Furthermore, in February 2015 shortly after establishment of SIMADI, the SICAD-II program was eliminated. As such, the Company determined it would be most appropriate to remeasure the net monetary assets of the Company’s subsidiaries operating in Venezuela at the SIMADI exchange rate, as this was the Company’s expected settlement rate. The SIMADI exchange rate was approximately 193 Bolivars per U.S. dollar at March 31, 2015. As such, due to the change to the SIMADI exchange rate, during the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded a foreign exchange-related charge of $13.0 related to the write-down of net monetary assets due to this remeasurement. This charge is included in the aforementioned Venezuela-related charges. Furthermore, as a result of the continued foreign exchange restrictions, combined with the unfavorable macroeconomic conditions in Venezuela, the Company recorded a $37.3 impairment charge on property, plant and equipment that were previously recorded at historical cost. This charge is included in the aforementioned Venezuela-related charges. Up until December 31, 2014, the financial statements of the Company’s subsidiaries operating in Venezuela were remeasured at and reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements at the CENCOEX official exchange rate of 6.30 Bolivars per U.S. dollar. Due to the evolving foreign exchange control environment in Venezuela and additional experience with the various foreign exchange mechanisms, as of December 31, 2014, the Company determined it would be most appropriate to remeasure the financial statements of the Company’s subsidiaries operating in Venezuela at the SICAD-II exchange rate of 50.0 Bolivars per U.S. dollar.
New Accounting Guidance	*New Accounting Guidance* In May 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-07, “Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent), (“ASU 2015-07”). ASU 2015-07 removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient and remove certain related disclosure requirements. ASU 2015-07 is effective for annual periods and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Since ASU 2015-07 only modifies existing disclosures, the adoption of ASU 2015-07 will not affect the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (“ASU 2015-03”). ASU No. 2015-03 changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability rather than as an asset. ASU 2015-03 is effective for annual periods and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2015-03 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, “Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis” (“ASU 2015-02”). ASU 2015-02 affects reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. Specifically, ASU 2015-02 modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities or voting interest entities. ASU 2015-02 is effective for annual periods and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2015-02 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Adoption of New Accounting Guidance	*Adoption of New Accounting Guidance* In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity” (“ASU 2014-08”). ASU-2014-08 establishes criteria for determining which disposals qualify as discontinued operations and also establishes disclosure requirements for both discontinued operations and material disposals that do not meet the definition of discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. The adoption of the provisions of ASU 2014-08 did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
