Products From First Alert(R) and Oster(R) Named #1 Sellers for 2008

RYE, N.Y., Jan. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Jarden Corporation (NYSE: JAH) today announced that two of its products were named bestsellers in their respective categories by Amazon.com based on total units sold in 2008.

    --  The First Alert(R) CO600 Plug-in Carbon Monoxide Alarm was the top
        seller in the "Home Improvement" category. This life-saving
        product samples air once every second and plugs into a standard wall
        outlet, thus requiring no batteries, while also using 40% less power
        than battery-operated devices. Calibrated at four levels for accuracy,
        the CO600 re-alarms if carbon monoxide levels persist and has a unique
        self testing system that alerts the user if a malfunction occurs.



    --  The Oster(R) 4207 Electric Wine Opener was named the top seller in the
        "Home and Garden" category. At the touch of a button, the
        product opens up to 30 bottles on a single charge and sits in the
        compact recharging base for convenience and mobility. The stylish and
        ergonomically designed soft-grip handle fits into the palm of the hand
        for a firm grip and also includes a foil cutter to remove wine seals.

Martin E. Franklin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Jarden Corporation, said, "We are pleased that First Alert(R) and Oster(R) have taken the top sales spots at Amazon.com. Retailers and consumers continue to appreciate and benefit from the investments we make across our entire portfolio of products and the innovation that it yields. We look forward to similar results in 2009 and beyond as we continue to develop products which retailers and consumers want and need."
