Basis Of Presentation And Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis Of Presentation And Significant Accounting Policies	Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Newell Brands Inc. (formerly Newell Rubbermaid Inc., and collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations of the Company. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but it does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. It is recommended that these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements, and the footnotes thereto, included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Seasonal Variations Sales of the Company’s products tend to be seasonal, with sales and operating income in the first quarter generally lower than any other quarter during the year, driven principally by reduced volume and the mix of products sold in the first quarter. Historically, the Company has earned approximately 60% of its annual operating income during the second and third quarters of the year. The seasonality of the Company’s sales volume combined with the accounting for fixed costs, such as depreciation, amortization, rent, personnel costs and interest expense, impacts the Company’s results on a quarterly basis. In addition, the Company has historically generated more than 95% of its operating cash flow in the second half of the year due to seasonal variations in operating results, the timing of annual performance-based compensation payments, customer program payments, working capital requirements and credit terms provided to customers. Accordingly, the Company’s results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2016. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of accounting standards updates (“ASUs”) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Accounting Standard Codification 605 — Revenue Recognition.” ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in “Accounting Standard Codification 605 — Revenue Recognition” and most industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 requires that entities recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. ASU 2014-09 permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is currently assessing the impact ASU 2014-09 will have on its financial position and results of operations. In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, “Income Statement—Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20), Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items,” which simplifies income statement presentation by eliminating the concept of extraordinary items. Previously, events or transactions that were both unusual in nature and infrequent in occurrence for a business entity were considered to be extraordinary items and required separate presentation, net of tax, after income from continuing operations. The presentation and disclosure guidance for items that are unusual in nature or occur infrequently was retained and expanded to include items that are both unusual and infrequently occurring. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted ASU 2015-01 on January 1, 2016, and the adoption of ASU 2015-01 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,” which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. ASU 2015-03 requires an entity to present such costs in the balance sheet as a direct reduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs continues to be reported as interest expense. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company restrospectively adopted ASU 2015-03 on January 1, 2016, and the adoption of ASU 2015-03 had the effect of reducing the Company’s other assets and long-term debt by $86.0 million and $18.5 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, “ Intangibles - Goodwill and Other -Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), Customers Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement ,” to help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement. The amendments provide guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license element, then the customer should account for the software license element arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The Company prospectively adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2016, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “ Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, ” which modifies existing requirements regarding measuring first-in, first-out and average cost inventory at the lower of cost or market. Under existing standards, the market amount requires consideration of replacement cost, net realizable value (“NRV”), and NRV less an approximately normal profit margin. ASU 2015-11 replaces market with NRV, defined as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. This eliminates the need to determine and consider replacement cost or NRV less an approximately normal profit margin when measuring inventory. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact ASU 2015-11 will have on its financial position and results of operations. In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, “ Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments, ” which requires an acquirer in a business combination to recognize measurement-period adjustments during the period in which the acquirer determines the amounts, including the effect on earnings of any amounts the acquirer would have recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date, as opposed to retrospectively. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2015-16 in the third quarter of 2015, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, “ Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, ” which simplifies the reporting of deferred tax positions, requiring deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as noncurrent in the consolidated balance sheet, as opposed to the historical current and noncurrent classification. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2015-17 on a retrospective basis as of December 31, 2015. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “ Leases (Topic 842), ” which requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for all leases with terms of more than 12 months. Recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses will depend on classification as a finance or operating lease. ASU 2016-02 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the impact ASU 2016-02 will have on its financial position and results of operations. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “ Compensation-Stock Compensation: Improvement to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ” ASU 2016-09 provides guidance intended to simplify accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the updated guidance on its consolidated financial statements. Other recently issued ASUs were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have a minimal impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. Venezuelan Operations As of December 31, 2015, the Company determined it could no longer exercise control over its Venezuelan operations because the availability of U.S. Dollars had declined significantly over the past several years in each of Venezuela’s three exchange mechanisms, and the Company concluded that an other-than-temporary lack of exchangeability between the Venezuelan Bolivar and the U.S. Dollar existed as of December 31, 2015. Furthermore, increasingly restrictive governmental regulations in Venezuela related to prices that could be charged for products, distribution channels into which products could be sold, product labeling requirements, importation of raw materials and sourced products which must be purchased in U.S. Dollars, and labor matters restricted the Company’s ability to make and execute decisions related to its Venezuelan operations. As a result, the Company concluded it could no longer make key operational and financial decisions regarding its Venezuelan operations and deconsolidated its Venezuelan operations as of December 31, 2015. Prior to the deconsolidation of the Venezuelan operations on December 31, 2015, the results of the Company’s Venezuelan operations were included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company’s Venezuelan operations generated $21.9 million of consolidated net sales and $7.5 million of operating income. Income Taxes At the end of each interim period, the Company makes its best estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. This estimate reflects, among other items, the Company’s best estimate of operating results and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s quarterly income tax rate may differ from its estimated annual effective tax rate because accounting standards require the Company to exclude the actual results of certain entities expected to generate a pretax loss when applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to the Company’s consolidated pretax results in interim periods. In estimating the annual effective tax rate, the Company does not include the estimated impact of unusual and/or infrequent items, including the reversal of valuation allowances, which may cause significant variations in the customary relationship between income tax expense (benefit) and pretax income (loss) in quarterly periods. The income tax expense (benefit) for such unusual and/or infrequent items is recorded in the quarterly period such items are incurred. The Company routinely reviews valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets on a more likely than not basis in evaluating whether the Company has the ability to realize the deferred tax assets. In making such a determination, the Company takes into consideration all available and appropriate positive and negative evidence, including projected future taxable income, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, available tax planning strategies and taxable income in prior carryback years, if available. Considering these factors, a possibility exists that the Company may record or release a portion of a valuation allowance against some deferred tax assets each quarterly period, which could create volatility in the Company’s future effective tax rate.

Business Acquisitions [Abstract]
Mergers, Acquisitions and Dispositions Disclosures [Text Block]	Acquisitions Elmer’s During October 2015, the Company acquired Elmer’s Products, Inc. (“Elmer’s”) for a purchase price of $571.4 million , which is net of $16.8 million of cash acquired. The acquisition of Elmer’s was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the Company preliminarily allocated the total purchase price to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition. Based on the preliminary purchase price allocation, which is subject to change while the Company obtains final third-party valuations, the Company allocated $24.5 million of the purchase price to identified tangible and monetary net assets, $86.6 million to deferred tax liabilities and $262.0 million to identified intangible assets. Approximately $220.0 million was allocated to indefinite-lived intangible assets and approximately $42.0 million was allocated to a definite-lived intangible asset with a weighted-average life of 8 years . The indefinite-lived intangible assets represent the acquired Elmer’s ® and X-Acto ® trade names. The Company recorded the excess of the purchase price over the aggregate fair values of identifiable assets of $371.5 million as goodwill. None of the goodwill is expected to be tax deductible. Elmer’s results of operations are included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations since the acquisition date, including net sales of $44.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Pro forma results of operations of the Company would not be materially different as a result of the acquisition and therefore are not presented. The Company incurred $6.6 million of restructuring costs during the three months ended March 31, 2016 associated with the integration of Elmer’s. The Company incurred $1.7 million of acquisition and integration costs associated with prior acquisitions during the three months ended March 31, 2015, of which $1.5 million is included in cost of products sold and $0.2 million is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Jarden Corporation On April 15, 2016, Jarden Corporation (“Jarden”) became a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Newell Brands Inc., as a result of a series of merger transactions (the “Jarden Acquisition”). The Jarden Acquisition was effected pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 13, 2015 (the “Merger Agreement”) between the Company, Jarden and two wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. Following the Jarden Acquisition, the Company was renamed Newell Brands Inc. Jarden is a leading, global consumer products company with leading brands, such as Yankee Candle ® , Crock-Pot ® , FoodSaver ® , Mr. Coffee ® , Oster ® , Coleman ® , First Alert ® , Rawlings ® , Jostens ® , K2 ® , Marker ® , Marmot ® , Volkl ® and many others. The Jarden Acquisition enables the Company to scale the enterprise with leading brands in global markets. The scale of the Company in key categories, channels and geographies enables it to deploy its strategy, which includes advantaged development and commercial capabilities, across a larger set of opportunities to generate accelerated growth and margin expansion. The Jarden Acquisition will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and Jarden’s assets, liabilities and results of operations will be included in the Company’s financial statements from the acquisition date. Jarden’s sales and operating income for the year ended December 31, 2015 were $8.6 billion and $508.0 million , respectively. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of Jarden common stock was converted into the right to receive and became exchangeable for merger consideration consisting of (1) 0.862 of a share of the Company’s common stock plus (2) $21.00 in cash. On April 15, 2016, the Company provided for the issuance of up to 189.4 million shares of common stock and the payment of up to $4.6 billion for 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Jarden, which represented 219.7 million shares of Jarden common stock outstanding and eligible to receive the merger consideration. In addition, on April 15, 2016, the Company paid $4.1 billion to settle certain of Jarden’s outstanding debt obligations, which included accrued interest and change-in-control premiums. Based on the closing price of a share of the Company’s common stock on April 15, 2016 of $44.33 per share and assuming conversion of all of Jarden’s convertible notes, the total consideration paid or payable for shares of Jarden common stock is approximately $15.3 billion , including $5.4 billion of cash and $9.9 billion of common stock. Assuming conversion of all of Jarden’s convertible notes, stockholders of Newell Rubbermaid and stockholders and convertible note holders of Jarden immediately before the merger owned 55% and 45% , respectively, of Newell Brands upon completion of the merger. The Jarden Acquisition constituted a make-whole fundamental change with respect to Jarden’s three series of outstanding convertible notes, making them eligible for conversion into shares of Jarden common stock and eligible to receive the merger consideration based on the number of Jarden shares into which the convertible notes may be converted. Jarden’s three series of convertible notes include $500.0 million principal amount of 1.875% senior subordinated convertible notes due 2018 (the “Jarden 2018 Convertible Notes”); $265.0 million principal amount of 1.5% senior subordinated convertible notes due 2019 (the “Jarden 2019 Convertible Notes”); and $690.0 million principal amount of 1.125% senior subordinated convertible notes due 2034 (the “Jarden 2034 Convertible Notes”). As of May 4, 2016, holders of 85% of the principal amount of Jarden 2018 Convertible Notes, 75% of the principal amount of Jarden 2019 Convertible Notes and 83% of the principal amount of Jarden 2034 Convertible Notes had converted their notes into shares of Jarden common stock and received the merger consideration. If holders of Jarden’s convertible notes convert all of the notes into shares of Jarden common stock, holders of Jarden’s convertible notes would receive 37.9 million shares of Jarden common stock and would be entitled to receive the merger consideration of 32.7 million shares of Newell Brands common stock and $0.8 billion of cash. The Company, with the assistance of a third-party, is undertaking a comprehensive valuation of Jarden’s property, plant and equipment and identifiable intangible assets. The estimated values of these assets are not available due to the number of physical locations where property, plant and equipment is located and the unique aspects and number of Jarden’s identifiable intangible assets, particularly its trade names, trademarks, customer relationships and distribution channels. Because preliminary results of the comprehensive valuation are not yet available and because of the practical challenges associated with quantifying working capital accounts as of the middle of a month (April 15), the initial accounting for the transaction is not complete. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company incurred $12.7 million of acquisition and integration costs, which primarily relate to the acquisition and integration of Jarden and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]
Stockholders' Equity And Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)	Stockholders’ Equity and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss In August 2011, the Company announced a three -year share repurchase program (the “SRP”). Under the SRP, the Company may repurchase its own shares of common stock through a combination of 10b5-1 automatic trading plans, discretionary market purchases or in privately negotiated transactions. As expanded and extended in November 2014, the Company may repurchase a total of up to $1.1 billion of its own stock through the end of 2017 pursuant to the SRP.

Restructuring Costs	Restructuring Costs Project Renewal Project Renewal was launched in October 2011 to reduce the complexity of the organization and increase investment in growth platforms within the business. Under Project Renewal, the Company is simplifying and aligning its businesses around two key activities, Brand & Category Development and Market Execution & Delivery; simplifying and streamlining the supply chain and overhead and partnering functions to align with the new structure; and optimizing its selling and trade marketing functions. Cumulative costs of Project Renewal are expected to be approximately $690.0 million to $725.0 million pretax, with cash costs of approximately $645.0 million to $675.0 million . Approximately 60% to 70% of the total costs are expected to be restructuring costs, a majority of which are expected to be employee-related cash costs, including severance, retirement and other termination benefits and costs. Project Renewal is expected to be complete by the end of 2017 .

Long-term Debt, Other Disclosures [Abstract]
Debt	Debt The following is a summary of outstanding debt (in millions) : March 31, 2016 December 31, 2015 Medium-term notes (original maturities up to 10 years) $ 8,388.1 $ 2,674.1 Long-term notes (original maturities more than 10 years) 2,223.5 — Commercial paper 433.5 — Receivables facility 300.0 350.0 Other debt 30.2 33.8 Total debt 11,375.3 3,057.9 Short-term debt (762.8 ) (382.9 ) Current portion of long-term debt (5.9 ) (5.9 ) Long-term debt $ 10,606.6 $ 2,669.1 As a result of the adoption of of ASU 2015-03, the reported values of the medium-term notes and long-term notes are net of unamortized debt issuance costs totaling $86.0 million and $18.5 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Interest Rate Swaps As of March 31, 2016 , the Company was party to fixed-for-floating interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges. The interest rate swaps relate to an aggregate $596.0 million principal amount of the medium-term notes and result in the Company effectively paying a floating rate of interest on the medium-term notes hedged by the interest rate swaps. The medium-term note balances at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 include mark-to-market adjustments of $16.2 million and $(3.1) million , respectively, to record the fair value of the hedges of the fixed-rate debt, and the mark-to-market adjustments had the effect of increasing (decreasing) the reported values of the medium-term notes, respectively. Compared to the stated rates of the underlying medium-term notes, the effect of interest rate swaps, including amortization of settled interest rate swaps and outstanding cross-currency interest rate swaps on intercompany borrowings, had the effect of reducing interest expense by $3.2 million and $3.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Medium-term and Long-term Notes In March 2016, the Company completed the offering and sale of $8.0 billion principal amount of unsecured senior notes, consisting of $1.0 billion of aggregate principal amount of 2.60% notes due 2019 (the “2019 Notes”), $1.0 billion of aggregate principal amount of 3.15% notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”), $1.75 billion of aggregate principal amount of 3.85% notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”), $2.0 billion of aggregate principal amount of 4.20% notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”), $500.0 million of aggregate principal amount of 5.375% notes due 2036 (the “2036 Notes”) and $1.75 billion of aggregate principal amount of 5.50% notes due 2046 (the “2046 Notes” and together with the 2019 notes, the 2021 notes, the 2023 notes, the 2026 notes and the 2036 notes, the “Notes”). The aggregate net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes were $7.9 billion , which were used to pay the cash portion of the merger consideration in the Jarden Acquisition and to repay Jarden’s outstanding debt at closing. The Notes are senior obligations of the Company and rank equally with all of its other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness from time to time outstanding. At the Company’s option, all or any portion of the 2019 Notes may be redeemed at any time, all or any portion of the 2021 Notes may be redeemed at any time prior to March 1, 2021 (the date that is one month prior to the maturity date), all or any portion of the 2023 Notes may be redeemed at any time prior to February 1, 2023 (the date that is two months prior to the maturity date), all or any portion of the 2026 Notes may be redeemed at any time prior to January 1, 2026 (the date that is three months prior to the maturity date), all or any portion of the 2036 notes may be redeemed at any time prior to October 1, 2035 (the date that is six months prior to the maturity date), and all or any portion of the 2046 notes may be redeemed at any time prior to October 1, 2045 (the date that is six months prior to the maturity date) (each such date the applicable “par call date”). The redemption price for the Notes is equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed on the redemption date or (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes being redeemed (in the case of the 2026 Notes, assuming that the 2026 Notes matured on the par call date) (not including any portion of any payments of interest accrued to the redemption date), discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the treasury rate, plus an applicable premium; plus in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes being redeemed to the redemption date. If the 2021 Notes are redeemed on or after a date that is one month prior to the maturity date of the 2021 Notes, the 2023 Notes are redeemed on or after a date that is two months prior to the maturity date of the 2023 Notes, the 2026 Notes are redeemed on or after a date that is three months prior to the maturity date of the 2026 Notes, or the 2036 Notes or the 2046 Notes are redeemed on or after a date that is six months prior to the maturity date of such notes, then the redemption price of such notes will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes so redeemed plus accrued interest to such redemption date. The interest rate payable on each series of Notes will be subject to adjustment if either of two credit rating agencies downgrade (or subsequently upgrade) its rating assigned to the Notes, but in no event shall the interest rate payable on each series of Notes be less than the stated interest rate or more than 200 basis points greater than the stated interest rate on each series of Notes as a result of such credit rating agencies downgrades or upgrades. In October 2015, the Company completed the offering and sale of $600.0 million of unsecured senior notes, consisting of $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.15% notes due 2018 (the “2018 Notes”) and $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.90% notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”). The aggregate net proceeds from the issuance of the 2018 Notes and 2025 Notes were $594.6 million , which were used for the acquisition of Elmer’s and for general corporate purposes. Receivables-Related Borrowings As extended and expanded, the Company’s receivables facility expires in August 2016 and provides for available borrowings of up to $400.0 million (the “Receivables Facility”). Under the Receivables Facility, the Company and certain operating subsidiaries (collectively, “the Originators”) sell their receivables to a financing subsidiary as the receivables are originated. The financing subsidiary is wholly-owned by the Company and is the owner of the purchased receivables and the borrower under the Receivables Facility. The assets of the financing subsidiary are restricted as collateral for the payment of debt or other obligations arising under the Receivables Facility, and the financing subsidiary’s assets and credit are not available to satisfy the debts and obligations owed to the Company’s or any other Originator’s creditors. The Company includes the financing subsidiary’s assets, liabilities and results of operations in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Receivables Facility, as amended, requires, among other things, that the Company maintain a certain interest coverage ratio, and the Company was in compliance with such requirements under the Receivables Facility as of March 31, 2016 . The financing subsidiary owned $796.0 million of outstanding accounts receivable as of March 31, 2016 , and these amounts are included in accounts receivable, net in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2016 . The Company had $300.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Receivables Facility as of March 31, 2016 . Prior to completion of the Jarden Acquisition in April 2016, Jarden maintained a $500.0 million receivables purchase agreement (the “Securitization Facility”) that matures in October 2016 pursuant to which a substantial portion of Jarden’s U.S. accounts receivable were sold to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jarden. Jarden’s wholly-owned subsidiary funded these purchases with borrowings under a loan agreement, and such borrowings were secured by the purchased accounts receivable. Upon completion of the Jarden Acquisition in April 2016, Jarden’s Securitization Facility was amended to provide for borrowings to a subsidiary of the Company on terms substantially similar to those under Jarden’s Securitization Facility, and borrowings by the Company’s subsidiary under the Securitization Facility are collateralized by a portion of the Company’s U.S. accounts receivable. Revolving Credit Facility and Commercial Paper In January 2016, the Company entered into a five-year revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks. The Revolving Credit Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Company’s previous revolving credit facility. The Revolving Credit Agreement provides for an unsecured syndicated revolving credit facility with a maturity date of January 2021 , and an aggregate commitment at any time outstanding of up to $1.25 billion (the “Facility”). The Company may from time to time request increases in the aggregate commitment to up to $1.75 billion upon the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Company may request extensions of the maturity date of the Facility (subject to lender approval) for additional one-year periods. Borrowings under the Facility will be used for general corporate purposes, and the Facility provides the committed backup liquidity required to issue commercial paper. Accordingly, commercial paper may be issued only up to the amount available for borrowing under the Facility. Under the Facility, the Company may borrow funds on a variety of interest rate terms. The Revolving Credit Agreement, as amended, requires, among other things, that the Company maintain certain interest coverage and debt-to-total capitalization ratios, and the Company was in compliance with such requirements under the Revolving Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2016. The Facility also provides for the issuance of up to $100.0 million of letters of credit, so long as there is a sufficient amount available for borrowing under the Facility. The Company may borrow, prepay and re-borrow amounts under the Facility at any time prior to termination of the Facility. As of March 31, 2016 , there were no borrowings or standby letters of credit issued or outstanding under the Facility. As of March 31, 2016 , the Company had outstanding commercial paper obligations of $433.5 million , resulting in $816.5 million of borrowing capacity under the Facility. In addition to the committed portion of the Facility, the Revolving Credit Agreement provides for extensions of competitive bid loans from one or more lenders (at the lenders’ discretion) of up to $500.0 million , which are not a utilization of the amount available for borrowing under the Facility. Bridge Credit Facility On December 13, 2015, the Company entered into a commitment letter with a lender. The lender committed to provide financing for the Jarden transaction, consisting of a $10.5 billion senior unsecured bridge facility (the “Jarden Bridge Facility”). The availability under the Jarden Bridge Facility was subject to reduction in equivalent amounts upon the completion of any issuance of debt securities by the Company and upon other specified events. Due to the Company entering into the term loan credit agreement as described below, completing the issuance of the Notes in March 2016 and other considerations, the Jarden Bridge Facility was terminated. Other current assets as of December 31, 2015 included $45.9 million of unamortized origination fees associated with the commitment letter contemplating the Jarden Bridge Facility. Upon cancellation of the Jarden Bridge Facility, the $45.9 million of issuance costs were written off and recorded as a loss related to termination of credit facility in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Term Loan Credit Agreement On January 26, 2016, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”) for a $1.5 billion senior unsecured term loan facility with a syndicate of banks. In April 2016, the Company borrowed $1.5 billion pursuant to the Term Loan Credit Agreement, and the borrowings were used to pay a portion of the cash portion of the merger consideration in connection with the Jarden Acquisition. The Term Loan Credit Agreement provides for a maturity date of three years from the closing date of the Jarden Acquisition and requires the Company to repay 5% of the initial borrowings by each of April 2017 and April 2018 , 45% of the borrowings by October 2018 and the remaining 45% of the borrowings by April 2019 . At the Company’s election, borrowings under the Term Loan Credit Agreement bear interest either at (i) the eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin, or (ii) the base rate plus an applicable margin. At issuance, borrowings under the Term Loan Credit Agreement bear interest at 2.0% . Notes Exchange In March 2016, the Company commenced exchange offers (the “Exchange Offers”) pursuant to which the Company offered to issue new senior notes (the “Newell Notes”) in exchange for €300 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 3.75% senior notes due October 2021 issued by Jarden and of the $300 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 5.00% senior notes due November 2023 issued by Jarden (collectively, the “Existing Jarden Notes”) and concurrently solicited consents (the “Consent Solicitations”) from the eligible holders of the Existing Jarden Notes to amend the related indentures. The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations expired and were settled in April 2016. The aggregate principal amount of each series of Newell Notes issued in the Exchange Offers totaled €271.9 million of 3.75% senior notes due October 2021 and $295.1 million 5.00% senior notes due November 2023 . The Newell Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equally in right of payment with all of its other existing or future senior unsecured debt, and are structurally subordinated to the secured and unsecured debt of the Company’s subsidiaries, including any debt of Jarden that remains outstanding. The Exchange Offers were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, and as a result, the Newell Notes may not be offered or sold in the U.S. absent registration or an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state laws. In connection with the completion of the Exchange Offers, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to file a registration statement before January 2017 relating to an offer to exchange the Newell Notes for registered notes of the Company having substantially the same terms as the Newell Notes. The interest rates on the Newell Notes are subject to increases if the Company does not fulfill its obligation to timely offer to exchange the Newell Notes for registered notes of the Company having substantially the same terms as the Newell Notes. Following the consummation of the Exchange Offers, Jarden had outstanding approximately (i) €28.1 million in aggregate principal amount of its 3.75% senior notes due October 2021 and (ii) $4.9 million in aggregate principal amount of its 5.00% senior notes due November 2023 (the “Remaining Existing Jarden Notes”). In April 2016, Jarden entered into supplemental indentures related to the Remaining Existing Jarden Notes that eliminated substantially all of the restrictive covenants, eliminated the cross-default under Jarden’s indebtedness as an event of default, released the guarantees of any guarantors on the Remaining Existing Jarden Notes and evidenced the assumption of the obligations of the Remaining Existing Jarden Notes by a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Remaining Existing Jarden Notes are the senior unsecured obligations of a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Derivative Instruments and Hedges, Assets [Abstract]
Derivatives	Derivatives The use of financial instruments, including derivatives, exposes the Company to market risk related to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. The Company primarily uses derivatives to manage its interest rate exposure, to achieve a desired proportion of variable and fixed-rate debt, to manage the risk associated with the volatility of future cash flows denominated in foreign currencies and to manage changes in fair value resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Fair Value Hedges-Interest Rate Swap Agreements The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements related to existing debt obligations with initial maturities ranging from five to ten years. The Company’s interest rate swap agreements have the economic effect of modifying the fixed interest obligations associated with approximately $596.0 million of the medium-term notes so that the interest payable on these medium-term notes effectively became variable. The Company uses these interest rate swap agreements to manage its interest rate exposure and to achieve a desired proportion of variable and fixed-rate debt. The critical terms of the interest rate swap agreements match the critical terms of the medium-term notes that the interest rate swap agreements pertain to, including the notional amounts and maturity dates. These transactions are characterized as fair value hedges for accounting purposes because they protect the Company against changes in the fair values of certain fixed-rate borrowings due to benchmark interest rate movements. The changes in fair values of these interest rate swap agreements are recognized as interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations with the corresponding amounts included in other assets or other noncurrent liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amount of net gain (loss) attributable to the risk being hedged is recognized as interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations with the corresponding amount included in Current Portion of Long-term Debt and Long-term Debt. The periodic interest settlements for the interest rate swap agreements are recorded as interest expense and are included as a part of cash flows from operating activities. Cash Flow Hedges-Forward-Starting Interest Rate Swaps The Company also uses derivatives to hedge interest rates on anticipated issuances of medium-term and long-term notes occurring within one year or less of the inception date of the derivative, and the Company uses these instruments to reduce the volatility in future interest payments that would be made pursuant to the anticipated issuances of the notes. These derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges. The changes in fair values of these instruments are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), and after the notes are issued and the derivative instruments are settled, the amount in other comprehensive income (loss) is amortized to interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations over the term of the related notes. The cash paid or received from the settlement of forward-starting interest rate swaps is included in cash flows from operating activities. Cash Flow Hedges-Cross-Currency Interest Rate Swap Agreements The Company’s foreign exchange risk management policy emphasizes hedging foreign currency intercompany financing activities with derivatives with maturity dates of three years or less. The Company uses derivative instruments, such as cross-currency interest rate swap agreements, to hedge currency risk associated with foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities associated with intercompany financing activities. In connection with intercompany financing arrangements entered into in April 2015, the Company entered into two cross-currency interest rate swap agreements to manage the related foreign currency exchange risk of the intercompany financing arrangements. As of March 31, 2016 , the notional value of outstanding cross-currency interest rate swaps was $185.2 million , and the cross-currency interest rate swaps are intended to eliminate uncertainty in cash flows in U.S. Dollars and British Pounds in connection with the intercompany financing arrangements. The cross-currency interest rate swap agreements have been designated as qualifying hedging instruments and are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The critical terms of the cross-currency interest rate swap agreements correspond to the terms of the intercompany financing arrangements, including the annual principal and interest payments being hedged, and the cross-currency interest rate swap agreements mature at the same time as the intercompany financing arrangements. The Company uses the hypothetical derivative method to measure the effectiveness of its cross-currency interest rate swap agreements. The fair values of these cross-currency interest rate swap agreements are recognized as other assets or other noncurrent liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The effective portions of the changes in fair values of these cross-currency interest rate swap agreements are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and an amount is reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into other expense, net, in the same period that the carrying value of the underlying foreign currency intercompany financing arrangements are remeasured. The ineffective portion of the unrealized gains and losses on these cross-currency interest rate swaps, if any, is recorded immediately to other expense, net. The Company evaluates the effectiveness of its cross-currency swap agreements on a quarterly basis, and the Company did not record any ineffectiveness for the three months ended March 31, 2016 . The cash flows related to the cross-currency interest rate swap agreements, including amounts related to the periodic interest settlements and the principal balances, are included in cash flows from operating activities. Cash Flow Hedges-Foreign Currency Forward Contracts The Company’s foreign exchange risk management policy generally emphasizes hedging certain transaction exposures of 18 -month durations or less. The Company transacts business in various foreign currencies and periodically enters into primarily foreign currency forward contracts to offset the risks associated with the effects of certain foreign currency exposures, and the Company has designated such instruments as hedges of probable forecasted foreign currency denominated sales or purchases. As of March 31, 2016 , the notional amounts of the forward contracts held to purchase U.S. Dollars in exchange for other major international currencies was $179.5 million , and the notional amounts of additional forward contracts held to buy and sell international currencies were $5.9 million . The net gains (losses) related to these forward contracts are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged transaction occurs or when the hedged transaction is no longer probable of occurring. The net gains (losses) in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are generally reclassified to cost of products sold in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations because the forward currency contracts generally hedge purchases of inventory. The cash flows related to these foreign currency contracts are included in cash flows from operating activities. Hedging instruments are not available for certain currencies in countries in which the Company has operations. In these cases, the Company uses alternative means in an effort to achieve an economic offset to the local currency exposure such as invoicing and/or paying intercompany and third party transactions in U.S. Dollars. The Company reports its derivative positions in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets on a gross basis and does not net asset and liability derivative positions with the same counterparty. The Company monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions that are parties to its financial transactions. Gains and losses from changes in fair values of derivatives that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes are recognized currently in earnings, and such amounts were not material for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 . The following table summarizes the Company’s outstanding derivative instruments and their effects on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 ( in millions ): Assets Liabilities Derivatives designated as hedging instruments Balance Sheet Location March 31, 2016 December 31, 2015 Balance Sheet Location March 31, 2016 December 31, 2015 Interest rate swaps Other assets $ 16.2 $ 2.2 Other noncurrent liabilities $ — $ 5.3 Forward-starting interest rate swaps Prepaid expenses and other — 0.1 Other accrued liabilities — 3.2 Cross-currency interest rate swaps Other assets — 0.6 Other noncurrent liabilities 12.8 3.3 Foreign exchange contracts on inventory-related purchases Prepaid expenses and other and other assets 1.3 6.6 Other accrued liabilities 1.6 0.1 Foreign exchange contracts on intercompany borrowings Prepaid expenses and other 0.1 — Other accrued liabilities — 1.6 Total assets $ 17.6 $ 9.5 Total liabilities $ 14.4 $ 13.5 The fair values of outstanding derivatives that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes were not material as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 .

Cash Flow Hedges The following table presents the pretax effects of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) ( in millions ): Derivatives in cash flow hedging relationships Location of gain (loss) recognized in income Amount of gain (loss) reclassified from AOCI into income Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 2015 Forward-starting interest rate swaps Interest expense, net $ (0.2 ) $ (0.2 ) Cross-currency interest rate swaps on intercompany borrowings Other expense, net (11.8 ) — Foreign exchange contracts on inventory-related purchases Cost of products sold 1.7 4.3 $ (10.3 ) $ 4.1 Derivatives in cash flow hedging relationships Amount of gain (loss) recognized in AOCI Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 2015 Forward-starting interest rate swaps $ (88.1 ) $ — Cross-currency interest rate swaps on intercompany borrowings (10.1 ) — Foreign exchange contracts on inventory-related purchases (5.2 ) 5.8 Foreign exchange contracts on intercompany borrowings 0.2 2.6 $ (103.2 ) $ 8.4 During December 2015, the Company entered into forward-starting interest rate swaps for an aggregate $1.0 billion notional amount for the aniticipated issuance of notes to finance the Jarden Acquisition (the “ 2015 Swaps”). During January 2016, the Company entered into additional forward-starting interest rate swaps for an aggregate $1.3 billion notional amount (collectively with the 2015 Swaps, the “Swaps”). The total notional amount of the Swaps relating to the anticipated issuance of medium-term and long-term notes for the Jarden Acquisition was $2.3 billion . In March 2016, the Company completed the offering and sale of the notes (see Footnote 7 for additional information) and settled the Swaps. The net pretax loss and net amount paid upon settlement of the Swaps was $91.2 million , which was recorded in AOCI net of tax and is included in cash used in operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2016 . As the Swaps hedged the benchmark rates associated with the anticipated issuances of notes, the losses associated with the Swaps will be reclassified from AOCI to interest expense over the terms of the Notes the Swaps were designated to hedge. The Company did not realize any ineffectiveness related to cash flow hedges during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 . As of March 31, 2016 , the Company expects to reclassify net pretax losses of $10.0 million from AOCI into earnings during the next 12 months, which primarily relate to the Swaps.

Share-based Compensation [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation The Company measures compensation cost for all stock awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognizes compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period for awards expected to vest. The Company recognized $9.9 million and $6.8 million of pretax stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. The following table summarizes the changes in the number of shares of common stock underlying outstanding stock options for the three months ended March 31, 2016 ( in millions, except weighted-average exercise prices ): Options Outstanding and Exercisable Weighted-Average Exercise Price Aggregate Intrinsic Value Exercisable Outstanding at December 31, 2015 1.2 $ 20 $ 28.1 Exercised (0.2 ) 17 Outstanding at March 31, 2016 1.0 $ 21 $ 22.0 The following table summarizes the changes in the number of outstanding restricted stock units for the three months ended March 31, 2016 ( shares in millions ): Restricted Stock Units Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value Outstanding at December 31, 2015 2.9 $ 34 Vested (0.9 ) 26 Outstanding at March 31, 2016 2.0 $ 37 During 2014 and 2015, the Company awarded performance stock units which entitle recipients to shares of the Company’s stock at the end of a three -year vesting period if specified performance or market conditions are achieved (“PSUs”). The PSUs generally entitle recipients to shares of common stock equal to 0% up to 200% of the number of units granted at the vesting date depending on the level of achievement of the specified performance, market and service conditions. As of March 31, 2016 , 1.1 million PSUs were outstanding. Based on performance through March 31, 2016 , holders of unvested PSUs would be entitled to approximately 1.2 million shares at the vesting date. The PSUs are included in the preceding table as if the holders of PSUs earn shares equal to 100% of the units granted

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Disclosures	Fair Value Disclosures Recurring Fair Value Measurements The following tables present the Company’s non-pension financial assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis ( in millions ): Fair Value as of March 31, 2016 Total Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Assets Investment securities, including mutual funds (1) $ 7.9 $ 4.6 $ 3.3 $ — Interest rate swaps 16.2 — 16.2 — Foreign currency derivatives 1.4 — 1.4 — Total $ 25.5 $ 4.6 $ 20.9 $ — Liabilities Cross-currency interest rate swaps 12.8 — 12.8 — Foreign currency derivatives 1.6 — 1.6 — Total $ 14.4 $ — $ 14.4 $ — Fair Value as of December 31, 2015 Assets Investment securities, including mutual funds (1) $ 6.9 $ 4.5 $ 2.4 $ — Interest rate swaps 2.2 — 2.2 — Forward-starting interest rate swaps 0.1 — 0.1 — Cross-currency interest rate swaps 0.6 — 0.6 — Foreign currency derivatives 6.6 — 6.6 — Total $ 16.4 $ 4.5 $ 11.9 $ — Liabilities Interest rate swaps $ 5.3 $ — $ 5.3 $ — Forward-starting interest rate swaps 3.2 — 3.2 — Cross-currency interest rate swaps 3.3 — 3.3 — Foreign currency derivatives 1.7 — 1.7 — Total $ 13.5 $ — $ 13.5 $ — (1) The values of investment securities, including mutual funds, are classified as cash and cash equivalents ( $2.9 million and $2.0 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively) and other assets ( $5.0 million and $4.9 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively). For publicly-traded mutual funds, fair value is determined on the basis of quoted market prices and, accordingly, such investments have been classified as Level 1. Other investment securities are valued at the net asset value per share or unit multiplied by the number of shares or units held as of the measurement date and have been classified as Level 2. The Company determines the fair value of its derivative instruments using standard pricing models and market-based assumptions for all significant inputs, such as yield curves and quoted spot and forward exchange rates. Accordingly, the Company’s derivative instruments are classified as Level 2. Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements The Company’s nonfinancial assets which are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include property, plant and equipment, goodwill, intangible assets and certain other assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 , impairments associated with plans to dispose of certain property, plant and equipment were not material. In the absence of a definitive sales price for these and similar types of assets, the Company generally uses projected cash flows, discounted as necessary, or market multiples to estimate the fair values of the impaired assets using key inputs such as management’s projections of cash flows on a held-and-used basis (if applicable), management’s projections of cash flows upon disposition and discount rates. Key inputs into the market multiple approach include identifying companies comparable to the Company’s business and estimated control premiums. Accordingly, these fair value measurements fall in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. These assets and certain liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as part of the Company’s impairment assessments and as circumstances require. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, no material nonrecurring fair value measurements were required for testing assets for impairment. Financial Instruments The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, derivative instruments, notes payable and short and long-term debt. The carrying values for current financial assets and liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt approximate fair value due to the short maturity of such instruments. The fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are disclosed in Footnote 8. The fair values of the Company’s medium-term and long-term notes are based on quoted market prices (Level 1) and are as follows ( in millions ): March 31, 2016 December 31, 2015 Fair Value Book Value Fair Value Book Value Medium-term and long-term notes $ 11,140.0 $ 10,611.6 $ 2,660.7 $ 2,674.1 The carrying amounts of all other significant debt approximate fair value.

Payments for annual rebates and other customer programs are generally made in the first quarter of the year. The self-insurance accrual is primarily casualty liabilities such as workers’ compensation, general and product liability and auto liability and is estimated based upon historical loss experience combined with actuarial evaluation methods, review of significant individual files and the application of risk transfer programs.

Litigation And Contingencies [Abstract]
Litigation And Contingencies	Litigation and Contingencies The Company is involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its business. These proceedings include claims for damages arising out of use of the Company’s products, allegations of infringement of intellectual property, commercial disputes and employment matters, as well as environmental matters. Some of the legal proceedings include claims for punitive as well as compensatory damages, and certain proceedings may purport to be class actions. The Company, using current product sales data and historical trends, actuarially calculates the estimate of its exposure for product liability. The Company had product liability reserves of $40.9 million and $41.2 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively. The Company is insured for product liability claims for amounts in excess of established deductibles and accrues for the estimated liability as described up to the limits of the deductibles. All other claims and lawsuits are handled on a case-by-case basis. Recall of Harness Buckles on Select Car Seats In February 2014, Graco, a subsidiary of the Company, announced a voluntary recall in the U.S. of harness buckles used on approximately 4 million toddler car seats manufactured between 2006 and 2013. In July 2014, Graco announced that it had agreed to expand the recall to include certain infant car seats manufactured between July 2010 and May 2013. There have been no reported injuries associated with the recalled harness buckles used on these toddler or infant car seats. In December 2014, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (“NHTSA”) announced an investigation into the timeliness of the recall, and in March 2015, the investigation concluded with Graco entering into a consent order with NHTSA pursuant to which Graco committed to spend $7.0 million in total over a five-year period to enhance child passenger safety and make a $3.0 million payment to NHTSA, which was paid in the three months ended June 30, 2015. With respect to the $7.0 million required to be spent over five years, the Company has spent approximately $1.1 million to date. The Company recorded the $10.0 million of costs associated with the consent order in the three months ended March 31, 2015. Legal Matters A putative class action lawsuit ( Vincent A. Hirsch v. James E. Lillie, Martin E. Franklin, Ian G.H. Ashken, Michael S. Gross, Robert L. Wood, Irwin D. Simon, William P. Lauder, Ros L’esperance, Peter A. Hochfelder, Newell Rubbermaid Inc., NCPF Acquisition Corp. I and NCPF Acquisition Corp. II , Case No. 9:16-CV-80258 (United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida)) was filed on February 24, 2016, purportedly on behalf of Jarden shareholders against the individually named director defendants, who are directors of Jarden. The Company and its subsidiaries NCPF Acquisition Corp. I and NCPF Acquisition Corp. II are also named as defendants. The Complaint alleges claims under § 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”); SEC Rule 14a-9 against all defendants; and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against the individual director defendants. Plaintiff alleges that the joint proxy/prospectus of the Company and Jarden concerning the proposed merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement omitted certain information. The parties have entered into a settlement term sheet, pursuant to which the Company added certain disclosures to its Registration Statement on Form S-4. Subject to court approval of the settlement agreement and the lead plaintiff and lead counsel, the shareholder claims will be released, and the defendants will reimburse up to $0.6 million in attorney fees. A second putative class action lawsuit ( Jessica Paree v. Martin E. Franklin, et al (Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial District in and for Palm Beach County, Florida)) was filed on March 10, 2016, purportedly on behalf of Jarden stockholders, against the individually named director defendants, all of whom are directors of Jarden. The Company and two of its subsidiaries are also named as defendants. The complaint generally alleges that the director defendants breached their fiduciary duties owed to Jarden stockholders regarding the merger consideration agreed to and the process undertaken by the director defendants in connection with the Jarden transaction, and that the Company and two of its subsidiaries aided and abetted such breaches. Plaintiff further alleges that defendants have (i) solicited stockholder action pursuant to a materially false and misleading joint proxy statement/prospectus, (ii) failed to include all material information concerning the unfair sales process that resulted in the merger transactions, and (iii) materially omitted certain information related to the financial analyses performed by Jarden’s financial advisor. Plaintiff seeks, among other things, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief enjoining the merger transactions, rescission or rescissory damages in the event the Jarden transaction is consummated, an award of attorneys’ and experts’ fees and costs, and a direction from the court that Jarden’s individual board members account for all damages allegedly suffered as a result of their alleged wrongdoing. On March 28, 2016, the parties filed an Agreed Joint Motion to Stay Proceedings, seeking a stay of the litigation, pending the outcome of the above described Hirsch v. Lillie action. The court entered an order staying the proceedings on March 31, 2016, and ordered the parties to provide an update to the court on the status of the federal action by June 30, 2016. Jarden Acquisition Under the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), any Jarden stockholder who did not vote in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement, and otherwise complies with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL, is entitled to seek an appraisal of its shares of Jarden common stock by the Delaware Chancery Court as provided under Section 262 of the DGCL. As of April 15, 2016 (the date of the Jarden stockholder meeting), dissenting stockholders collectively holding approximately 11.5 million shares of Jarden common stock have delivered to Jarden a written demand for appraisal. The fair value of the Jarden common shares, as determined by the court, could be lower or higher than and/or may include a greater amount of cash than the merger consideration to which such Jarden stockholder would have been entitled under the Merger Agreement. Environmental Matters The Company is involved in various matters concerning federal and state environmental laws and regulations, including matters in which the Company has been identified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“U.S. EPA”) and certain state environmental agencies as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) at contaminated sites under the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”) and equivalent state laws. In assessing its environmental response costs, the Company has considered several factors, including the extent of the Company’s volumetric contribution at each site relative to that of other PRPs; the kind of waste; the terms of existing cost sharing and other applicable agreements; the financial ability of other PRPs to share in the payment of requisite costs; the Company’s prior experience with similar sites; environmental studies and cost estimates available to the Company; the effects of inflation on cost estimates; and the extent to which the Company’s, and other parties’, status as PRPs is disputed. The Company’s estimate of environmental response costs associated with these matters as of March 31, 2016 ranged between $23.2 million and $29.1 million . As of March 31, 2016 , the Company had a reserve of $24.9 million for such environmental remediation and response costs in the aggregate, which is included in other accrued liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. No insurance recovery was taken into account in determining the Company’s cost estimates or reserves, nor do the Company’s cost estimates or reserves reflect any discounting for present value purposes, except with respect to certain long-term operations and maintenance CERCLA matters, which are estimated at their present value of $17.6 million by applying a 5% discount rate to undiscounted obligations of $24.7 million . U.S. EPA has issued General Notice Letters (“GNLs”) to over 100 entities, including the Company and Berol Corporation, a subsidiary of the Company, alleging that they are PRPs at the Diamond Alkali Superfund Site, which includes a 17-mile stretch of the Lower Passaic River and its tributaries. 72 of the GNL recipients, including the Company on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, Goody Products, Inc. and Berol Corporation (the “Company Parties”), have taken over the performance of the remedial investigation (“RI”) and feasibility study (“FS”) for the Lower Passaic River. On April 11, 2014, while work on the RI/FS remained underway, U.S. EPA issued a Source Control Early Action Focused Feasibility Study (“FFS”), which proposed four alternatives for remediation of the lower 8.3 miles of the Lower Passaic River. U.S. EPA’s cost estimates for its cleanup alternatives ranged from $315.0 million to approximately $3.2 billion in capital costs plus from $0.5 million to $1.8 million in annual maintenance costs for 30 years, with its preferred alternative carrying an estimated cost of approximately $1.7 billion plus an additional $1.6 million in annual maintenance costs for 30 years. In February 2015, the participating parties submitted to the U.S. EPA a draft RI, followed by submission of a draft FS in April 2015. The draft FS sets forth various alternatives for remediating the lower 17 miles of the Passaic River, ranging from a “no action” alternative, to targeted remediation of locations along the entire lower 17 mile stretch of the river, to remedial actions consistent with U.S. EPA’s preferred alternative as set forth in the FFS for the lower 8.3 miles coupled with monitored natural recovery and targeted remediation in the upper 9 miles.The estimated cost estimates for these alternatives range from approximately $28.0 million to $2.7 billion , including related operation maintenance and monitoring costs. The draft RI/FS remains under review by U.S. EPA. U.S. EPA issued its final Record of Decision for the lower 8.3 miles of the Lower Passaic (the “ROD”) in March 2016, which, in the language of the document, finalizes as the selected remedy the preferred alternative set forth in the FFS, which U.S. EPA estimates will cost $1.38 billion . Subsequent to the release of the ROD in March 2016, U.S. EPA issued GNLs for the lower 8.3 miles of the Passaic River (the “2016 GNL”) to numerous entities, apparently including all previous recipients of the initial GNL as well as several additional entities. As with the initial GNL, the Company and Berol Corporation were among the recipients of the 2016 GNL. The 2016 GNL states that U.S. EPA would like to determine whether one entity, Occidental Chemical Corporation (“OCC”), will voluntarily perform the remedial design for the selected remedy for the lower 8.3 miles, and that following execution of an agreement for the remedial design, U.S. EPA plans to begin negotiation of a remedial action consent decree, “under which OCC and the other major PRPs will implement and/or pay for EPA’s selected remedy for the lower 8.3 miles of the Lower Passaic River and reimburse EPA’s costs incurred for the Lower Passaic River.” The letter “encourage[s] the major PRPs to meet and discuss a workable approach to sharing responsibility for implementation and funding of the remedy" without indicating who may be the “major PRPs.” Finally, U.S. EPA states that it “believes that some of the parties that have been identified as PRPs under CERCLA, and some parties not yet named as PRPs, may be eligible for a cash out settlement with EPA for the lower 8.3 miles of the Lower Passaic River. EPA intends to provide separate notice of the opportunity to discuss a cash out settlement at a later date.” Thus, at this time, it is unclear how the cost of any cleanup would be allocated among any of the parties, including the Company Parties or any other entities. The site is also subject to a Natural Resource Damage Assessment. Given the uncertainties pertaining to this matter, including that U.S. EPA is still reviewing the draft RI and FS, that no framework for or agreement on allocation for the investigation and ultimate remediation has been developed, and that there exists the potential for further litigation regarding costs and cost sharing, the extent to which the Company Parties may be held liable or responsible is not yet known. Accordingly, it is not possible at this time for the Company to estimate its ultimate liability related to this matter. Based on currently known facts and circumstances, the Company does not believe that this matter is reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, including, among other factors, because the Company Parties’ facilities are not even alleged to have discharged the contaminants which are of the greatest concern in the river sediments, and because there are numerous other parties who will likely share in any costs of remediation and/or damages. However, in the event of one or more adverse determinations related to this matter, it is possible that the ultimate liability resulting from this matter and the impact on the Company’s results of operations could be material. Because of the uncertainties associated with environmental investigations and response activities, the possibility that the Company could be identified as a PRP at sites identified in the future that require the incurrence of environmental response costs and the possibility that sites acquired in business combinations may require environmental response costs, actual costs to be incurred by the Company may vary from the Company’s estimates. Clean Air Act Labeling Matter In April 2015, the Company became aware that two beverage container products, one product of its recently acquired bubba brands business and one product of its recently acquired Ignite business, contained closed cell rigid polyurethane foam insulation that was blown with HCFC-141b, which is listed as a Class II ozone-depleting substance under the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. Under the Clean Air Act and U.S. EPA’s regulations promulgated thereunder, as of January 1, 2015, certain products made with or containing ozone depleting substances, including HCFC-141b, must bear a specific warning label. The Company discovered that the affected products imported in early 2015 did not display the required label. While the affected product lines were not compliant with applicable environmental regulations regarding ozone depleting substances, use of the products is safe and poses no risk to consumers. Upon discovery, the Company self-reported the violations to the U.S. EPA and replaced the blowing agent in the products. The Company is in the process of negotiating a settlement with U.S. EPA which would include payment of a penalty; although settlement negotiations are at an early stage, the Company does not expect that the penalty will exceed $110,000 . Other Matters Although management of the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of these proceedings with certainty, it believes that the ultimate resolution of the Company’s proceedings, including any amounts it may be required to pay in excess of amounts reserved, will not have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, except as otherwise described above. In the normal course of business and as part of its acquisition and divestiture strategy, the Company may provide certain representations and indemnifications related to legal, environmental, product liability, tax or other types of issues. Based on the nature of these representations and indemnifications, it is not possible to predict the maximum potential payments under all of these agreements due to the conditional nature of the Company’s obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by the Company under these agreements did not have a material effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

Basis Of Presentation And Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Seasonal Variations	Seasonal Variations Sales of the Company’s products tend to be seasonal, with sales and operating income in the first quarter generally lower than any other quarter during the year, driven principally by reduced volume and the mix of products sold in the first quarter. Historically, the Company has earned approximately 60% of its annual operating income during the second and third quarters of the year. The seasonality of the Company’s sales volume combined with the accounting for fixed costs, such as depreciation, amortization, rent, personnel costs and interest expense, impacts the Company’s results on a quarterly basis. In addition, the Company has historically generated more than 95% of its operating cash flow in the second half of the year due to seasonal variations in operating results, the timing of annual performance-based compensation payments, customer program payments, working capital requirements and credit terms provided to customers. Accordingly, the Company’s results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2016.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Policy	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of accounting standards updates (“ASUs”) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Accounting Standard Codification 605 — Revenue Recognition.” ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in “Accounting Standard Codification 605 — Revenue Recognition” and most industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 requires that entities recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. ASU 2014-09 permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is currently assessing the impact ASU 2014-09 will have on its financial position and results of operations. In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, “Income Statement—Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20), Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items,” which simplifies income statement presentation by eliminating the concept of extraordinary items. Previously, events or transactions that were both unusual in nature and infrequent in occurrence for a business entity were considered to be extraordinary items and required separate presentation, net of tax, after income from continuing operations. The presentation and disclosure guidance for items that are unusual in nature or occur infrequently was retained and expanded to include items that are both unusual and infrequently occurring. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted ASU 2015-01 on January 1, 2016, and the adoption of ASU 2015-01 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,” which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. ASU 2015-03 requires an entity to present such costs in the balance sheet as a direct reduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs continues to be reported as interest expense. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company restrospectively adopted ASU 2015-03 on January 1, 2016, and the adoption of ASU 2015-03 had the effect of reducing the Company’s other assets and long-term debt by $86.0 million and $18.5 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, “ Intangibles - Goodwill and Other -Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), Customers Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement ,” to help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement. The amendments provide guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license element, then the customer should account for the software license element arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The Company prospectively adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2016, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “ Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, ” which modifies existing requirements regarding measuring first-in, first-out and average cost inventory at the lower of cost or market. Under existing standards, the market amount requires consideration of replacement cost, net realizable value (“NRV”), and NRV less an approximately normal profit margin. ASU 2015-11 replaces market with NRV, defined as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. This eliminates the need to determine and consider replacement cost or NRV less an approximately normal profit margin when measuring inventory. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact ASU 2015-11 will have on its financial position and results of operations. In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, “ Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments, ” which requires an acquirer in a business combination to recognize measurement-period adjustments during the period in which the acquirer determines the amounts, including the effect on earnings of any amounts the acquirer would have recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date, as opposed to retrospectively. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2015-16 in the third quarter of 2015, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, “ Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, ” which simplifies the reporting of deferred tax positions, requiring deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as noncurrent in the consolidated balance sheet, as opposed to the historical current and noncurrent classification. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2015-17 on a retrospective basis as of December 31, 2015. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “ Leases (Topic 842), ” which requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for all leases with terms of more than 12 months. Recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses will depend on classification as a finance or operating lease. ASU 2016-02 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the impact ASU 2016-02 will have on its financial position and results of operations. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “ Compensation-Stock Compensation: Improvement to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ” ASU 2016-09 provides guidance intended to simplify accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the updated guidance on its consolidated financial statements. Other recently issued ASUs were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have a minimal impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Venezuelan Operations	Venezuelan Operations As of December 31, 2015, the Company determined it could no longer exercise control over its Venezuelan operations because the availability of U.S. Dollars had declined significantly over the past several years in each of Venezuela’s three exchange mechanisms, and the Company concluded that an other-than-temporary lack of exchangeability between the Venezuelan Bolivar and the U.S. Dollar existed as of December 31, 2015. Furthermore, increasingly restrictive governmental regulations in Venezuela related to prices that could be charged for products, distribution channels into which products could be sold, product labeling requirements, importation of raw materials and sourced products which must be purchased in U.S. Dollars, and labor matters restricted the Company’s ability to make and execute decisions related to its Venezuelan operations. As a result, the Company concluded it could no longer make key operational and financial decisions regarding its Venezuelan operations and deconsolidated its Venezuelan operations as of December 31, 2015. Prior to the deconsolidation of the Venezuelan operations on December 31, 2015, the results of the Company’s Venezuelan operations were included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company’s Venezuelan operations generated $21.9 million of consolidated net sales and $7.5 million of operating income.
Income Tax Policy	Income Taxes At the end of each interim period, the Company makes its best estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. This estimate reflects, among other items, the Company’s best estimate of operating results and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s quarterly income tax rate may differ from its estimated annual effective tax rate because accounting standards require the Company to exclude the actual results of certain entities expected to generate a pretax loss when applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to the Company’s consolidated pretax results in interim periods. In estimating the annual effective tax rate, the Company does not include the estimated impact of unusual and/or infrequent items, including the reversal of valuation allowances, which may cause significant variations in the customary relationship between income tax expense (benefit) and pretax income (loss) in quarterly periods. The income tax expense (benefit) for such unusual and/or infrequent items is recorded in the quarterly period such items are incurred. The Company routinely reviews valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets on a more likely than not basis in evaluating whether the Company has the ability to realize the deferred tax assets. In making such a determination, the Company takes into consideration all available and appropriate positive and negative evidence, including projected future taxable income, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, available tax planning strategies and taxable income in prior carryback years, if available. Considering these factors, a possibility exists that the Company may record or release a portion of a valuation allowance against some deferred tax assets each quarterly period, which could create volatility in the Company’s future effective tax rate.

Derivatives (Policies)

Derivatives (Policies)	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2016
Derivative [Line Items]
Derivatives, Policy [Policy Text Block]	The use of financial instruments, including derivatives, exposes the Company to market risk related to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. The Company primarily uses derivatives to manage its interest rate exposure, to achieve a desired proportion of variable and fixed-rate debt, to manage the risk associated with the volatility of future cash flows denominated in foreign currencies and to manage changes in fair value resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Fair Value Hedges-Interest Rate Swap Agreements The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements related to existing debt obligations with initial maturities ranging from five to ten years. The Company’s interest rate swap agreements have the economic effect of modifying the fixed interest obligations associated with approximately $596.0 million of the medium-term notes so that the interest payable on these medium-term notes effectively became variable. The Company uses these interest rate swap agreements to manage its interest rate exposure and to achieve a desired proportion of variable and fixed-rate debt. The critical terms of the interest rate swap agreements match the critical terms of the medium-term notes that the interest rate swap agreements pertain to, including the notional amounts and maturity dates. These transactions are characterized as fair value hedges for accounting purposes because they protect the Company against changes in the fair values of certain fixed-rate borrowings due to benchmark interest rate movements. The changes in fair values of these interest rate swap agreements are recognized as interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations with the corresponding amounts included in other assets or other noncurrent liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amount of net gain (loss) attributable to the risk being hedged is recognized as interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations with the corresponding amount included in Current Portion of Long-term Debt and Long-term Debt. The periodic interest settlements for the interest rate swap agreements are recorded as interest expense and are included as a part of cash flows from operating activities. Cash Flow Hedges-Forward-Starting Interest Rate Swaps The Company also uses derivatives to hedge interest rates on anticipated issuances of medium-term and long-term notes occurring within one year or less of the inception date of the derivative, and the Company uses these instruments to reduce the volatility in future interest payments that would be made pursuant to the anticipated issuances of the notes. These derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges. The changes in fair values of these instruments are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), and after the notes are issued and the derivative instruments are settled, the amount in other comprehensive income (loss) is amortized to interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations over the term of the related notes. The cash paid or received from the settlement of forward-starting interest rate swaps is included in cash flows from operating activities. Cash Flow Hedges-Cross-Currency Interest Rate Swap Agreements The Company’s foreign exchange risk management policy emphasizes hedging foreign currency intercompany financing activities with derivatives with maturity dates of three years or less. The Company uses derivative instruments, such as cross-currency interest rate swap agreements, to hedge currency risk associated with foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities associated with intercompany financing activities. In connection with intercompany financing arrangements entered into in April 2015, the Company entered into two cross-currency interest rate swap agreements to manage the related foreign currency exchange risk of the intercompany financing arrangements. As of March 31, 2016 , the notional value of outstanding cross-currency interest rate swaps was $185.2 million , and the cross-currency interest rate swaps are intended to eliminate uncertainty in cash flows in U.S. Dollars and British Pounds in connection with the intercompany financing arrangements. The cross-currency interest rate swap agreements have been designated as qualifying hedging instruments and are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The critical terms of the cross-currency interest rate swap agreements correspond to the terms of the intercompany financing arrangements, including the annual principal and interest payments being hedged, and the cross-currency interest rate swap agreements mature at the same time as the intercompany financing arrangements. The Company uses the hypothetical derivative method to measure the effectiveness of its cross-currency interest rate swap agreements. The fair values of these cross-currency interest rate swap agreements are recognized as other assets or other noncurrent liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The effective portions of the changes in fair values of these cross-currency interest rate swap agreements are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and an amount is reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into other expense, net, in the same period that the carrying value of the underlying foreign currency intercompany financing arrangements are remeasured. The ineffective portion of the unrealized gains and losses on these cross-currency interest rate swaps, if any, is recorded immediately to other expense, net. The Company evaluates the effectiveness of its cross-currency swap agreements on a quarterly basis, and the Company did not record any ineffectiveness for the three months ended March 31, 2016 . The cash flows related to the cross-currency interest rate swap agreements, including amounts related to the periodic interest settlements and the principal balances, are included in cash flows from operating activities. Cash Flow Hedges-Foreign Currency Forward Contracts The Company’s foreign exchange risk management policy generally emphasizes hedging certain transaction exposures of 18 -month durations or less. The Company transacts business in various foreign currencies and periodically enters into primarily foreign currency forward contracts to offset the risks associated with the effects of certain foreign currency exposures, and the Company has designated such instruments as hedges of probable forecasted foreign currency denominated sales or purchases. As of March 31, 2016 , the notional amounts of the forward contracts held to purchase U.S. Dollars in exchange for other major international currencies was $179.5 million , and the notional amounts of additional forward contracts held to buy and sell international currencies were $5.9 million . The net gains (losses) related to these forward contracts are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged transaction occurs or when the hedged transaction is no longer probable of occurring. The net gains (losses) in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are generally reclassified to cost of products sold in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations because the forward currency contracts generally hedge purchases of inventory. The cash flows related to these foreign currency contracts are included in cash flows from operating activities. Hedging instruments are not available for certain currencies in countries in which the Company has operations. In these cases, the Company uses alternative means in an effort to achieve an economic offset to the local currency exposure such as invoicing and/or paying intercompany and third party transactions in U.S. Dollars. The Company reports its derivative positions in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets on a gross basis and does not net asset and liability derivative positions with the same counterparty. The Company monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions that are parties to its financial transactions.
