Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure

     On July 9, 2003, during an investor presentation, an archived copy of which
is available at www.jarden.com, Jarden Corporation (the "Company") announced the
following:

     o   On July 8, 2003, Tilia, Inc. and Tilia International, Inc.
         (collectively, "Tilia"), wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company,
         filed a Complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission, in
         which Tilia has asked the Commission to initiate an investigation of
         Applica Incorporated, Applica Consumer Products, Inc., ZeroPack Co.,
         Ltd., The Holmes Group, Inc., and The Rival Company for unlawful
         importation of the Seal-A-Meal and freshGUARD home vacuum packaging
         machines in violation of Tilia's patent. Tilia has also submitted a
         motion for a temporary exclusion order seeking to halt the further
         importation and sale of infringing products.

     o   Despite difficult macro-economic conditions, for the quarter ended June
         30, 2003, net sales are expected to be within 5% of analyst estimates
         and earnings per share is expected to exceed the First Call Consensus.
